Patrick Palmer

About The Author

Pat embarked on his writing journey after his spouse received a diagnosis of brain cancer, leading him to assume the role of her primary caregiver for approximately five years until Angela’s passing. Pat’s literary works extend beyond being a homage to his wife’s remarkable bravery. They offer a profound exploration of how the lives of family members who willingly take on the responsibilities of caring for a terminally ill loved one undergo a profound transformation in an instant. These works delve into the personal odyssey of self-discovery that these caregivers embark upon during the course of their caregiving journey.

Learning about various aspects of social interaction is a common experience at home and in school, but explicit preparation for the role of a caregiver is something that most of us do not receive. The path to becoming a caregiver often unfolds unexpectedly when a loved one faces the challenges of old age or confronts an unforeseen medical condition, such as cancer. Undoubtedly, this journey is far from straightforward. It is a wholly unfamiliar terrain where one may stumble and encounter numerous obstacles. In such moments, the value of assistance cannot be overstated. Renowned caregiving author Patrick Palmer draws upon his personal life experiences to not only craft a practical guide for hands-on caregiving but also to explore the process of healing for caregivers themselves. While patients unquestionably require support and affection, it is equally crucial to recognize the significance of providing support to caregivers of cancer patients. These caregiving books are recommended readings for individuals in the caregiving role and are authored by one of the foremost experts in the field of caregiving literature.

“Patrick Palmer’s books inspired me to “get ready” for the worse in order to appreciate the best of every precious moment with our ailing loved ones. He guides us through the importance of networking, gathering resources and researching options to facilitate the task of caregiving but also cautions us regarding the internal demands and how to support ourselves emotionally as caregivers. A practical guide that covers all the bases!”

Mr. Palmer raises the bar until it hits us in the head! Caregiving is not “rocket science” however, as per his books on caregiving; it requires preparedness, compassion and resilience. A must read!
