The Selfish Pig's Guide to Caring by Hugh Marriott
About this book
Publisher: Polperro Heritage Press Amazon Price: £9.95
Description:
Around the time symptoms of Huntington's Disease began to appear in their lives, Hugh and Cathie Marriott sold their house, bought a sailing boat, and embarked on what was to become a nine-year voyage of discovery. By the time Cathie could no longer get in or out of their small dinghy or safely clamber on board their boat, they had visited 40 countries and sailed almost the whole way round the world.
After moving ashore again, Hugh settled down to write about the most significant aspect of the voyage: coming to terms with caring for someone in the grip of a debilitating disease. In The Selfish Pig's Guide to Caring, he tries to put his finger on the advice he would like to have been given while he was struggling to learn new skills and find his way in an unfamiliar role.
''We have needed this book for 20 years. I wish I had been able to read it when I first became a carer.''
Alison Ryan, Chief Executive The Princess Royal Trust for Carers
