Dave Nassaney has written a definitive guide book for caregivers to thrive It's My Life, Too! Thrive and Stay Alive as a Caregiver. Caregivers often sacrifice their own health and live to take care of their loved ones. Dave tells us hoe not to fall into that trap and live a fulfilled life and take care of your loved one.

Dave shares information that will help you keep balance in your life and thrive as you assisting another being.

In 1996 Dave's wife Charlene had a massive stroke that left her paralyzed on the right side, and her speech was severely affected. Determined not to "place" her in a facility, Dave dove off of the deep end and brought his beautiful wife home to care for her. He shares what he has learned about caring for self, your loved one, and how to love and honor yourself while looking after others.
