Join Dave Nassaney, The Caregiver's Caregiver, and his guest, Adrienne Gruberg, who refers to herself as "one of the millions of baby-boomers now in the middle of the caregiving crisis."

She was born in New York City in 1948, and graduated from Boston University School of Fine Arts. Adrienne spent time in Liberia, West Africa, helping to set up a study for the New York Blood Center to discover the serum for Hepatitis B. She has worked at NBC Network in the business affairs department of the programming division, and later founded Adrienne Youngstein & Associates - an award winning graphic design, marketing, advertising and branding company in New York City. With the encouragement and coaching of her future husband, Steve Gruberg, she became a contestant on the popular TV game show "$20,000 Pyramid" and won the Grand Prize.

Adrienne became a constant caregiver to both her husband, diagnosed with lung cancer in 2005, and his mother, who at the age of ninety in 2007, was diagnosed with lymphoma and went to live with her son and daughter-in-law in New York City. As a result of this crisis, she is the proud Founder and President of The Caregiver Space.

According to Adrienne, "This site grew out of a personal need to connect with other caregivers and be part of a community where experiences and feelings could be shared and support could always be gotten. Understanding there are so many causes that make someone a caregiver made this site evolve into a place where a caregiver for any reason, could come and have a place to air their feelings – keeping them in is both exhausting and counter- productive. There are many services available to caregivers of patients with specific needs, but our concern is exclusively to comfort and help the caregiver."

Test....Audio Version of my Book

In January 2010, I found that the lives of my wife Terri and me will never be the same again.  After two trips to the hospital we discovered that Terri had Stage 4 endometrial cancer.  The doctors removed her uterus and the affected lymph nodes in the area. Suddenly, things that were very important before, no longer mattered.  We ended up shifting our attention from our careers to how we are going to beat the cancer. Suddenly, things that were very important before, no longer mattered.  At times it seemed the treatments were causing as many problems as they were solving.  During May of 2010, things turned bad.  The cancer had spread and she spent over 2 weeks in the hospital and she almost died. Then over the next 3 months she started feeling much better. She still had the cancer, but she was feeling pretty good.This period of time was the lull before the storm. After Terri passed away, there was a long grieving process.  Much longer than I ever expected. I am trying to live my life by living as a bold, open, vulnerable, and abundant man.  These characteristics help me to grow into the person I want to be.

All based on love. Joyce has been in Ministry close to 30 years, reaching out to the homeless, elderly, disabled, poor and challenged. She also has a Ranch Vision, and is hoping that it will come into fruition very soon. She embraces all positive aspects of life. On her radio show, "Mama Joyce's Messages Of Hope," on the Blog Talk Radio Network, her mantra is Compassion. She always says, "We are to love one another, help each other and learn to forgive. We leave the judging part to God. We are to share unconditional love with others, offer a hand up, and give an ear to listen and even become a friend. My hope is that YOU can become someone who adds much love to our world one person at a time, one day at a time. Joyce comes from an abused background at the age of 5 she was molested by a neighbor. At home, her mother performed unspeakable emotional and mental abuses on her, as well as physical beatings. One day she threw out all of Joyce's clothes except for one outfit that she had to wear over and over again. This resulted in more abuse and bullying from students at school because she was homely and overweight and was treated as an outcast. Someone even tried to murder her 3 different times. As she got older, it only got worse: drugs, rape, pregnancy and auto accident which killed her baby. Another murder attempt, and a gang rape caused her to attempt suicide. Join Dave, The Caregiver's Caregiver, and hear Joyce's amazing and miraculous story of transformation and deliverance which came about through tragedy.

Randy Cooper has had many jobs and careers, ranging from lumberjack in the woods of the Pacific Northwest to serving as a special education teacher, from an operator at a Westinghouse plant to a developer and teacher of the Total Quality Management program at two of their facilities. As an artist, he credits his attention to detail to this latter experience at Westinghouse. Randy's mother was a master carver of birds and gunstocks, and one of his sisters is an accomplished painter, sculptor, and author. It wasn’t until Randy was nearly 50 that he discovered his own penchant for art. His first experience with art education was taking a 6-week course with sculptor Wren Prather-Stroud. He also attended a week-long course with Tuck Langland at the Scottsdale Artists' School. After working successfully in clays, artificial stone, and bronzes, Randy discovered wire mesh, which soon became his medium. He began creating intriguing and magical sculptures in wire mesh and has developed all of the techniques that he uses in making his “Shadow Sculptures” on his own. These are forms created in wire screen that cast lovely shadows on the wall when lit with a light source. Indeed, sometimes the shadows seem to show more detail than the original sculpture and instill a feeling of magic into the creation. These “Shadow Sculptures” have been sweeping the United States and the world for the past few years, highlighting many private collections throughout the world, and Randy Cooper has become a major force among America's contemporary artists. Randy works as a full-time sculptor and lives in New Mexico with his wife, Susan, a former environmental engineer who is now a writer and an artist who has worked primarily in pastels, oils, and acrylics.
