PRE-ORDER Tell Someone Who Cares. Balancing the Ups and Downs of Caring for Someone you Love
Caring changes you. But it doesn't have to erase you.
Caring for someone you love can be one of life's most meaningful roles—and one of its most emotionally complex.
You can feel grateful and grieving. Deeply devoted yet completely exhausted. Certain you're doing everything you can, while still wondering if it's enough.
These emotional contradictions are a normal part of caring, yet they're rarely spoken about. Tell Someone Who Caresgives language to these experiences, helping you better understand yourself without judgement.
Drawing on Rosemary Gattuso's experience as both a trauma-informed family mediator and family carer, this strengths-based book explores the emotional realities of caring for a parent, partner, spouse, child or other loved one through illness, disability, ageing or vulnerability.
Rather than offering quick fixes or unrealistic positivity, it combines relatable stories, practical reflection tools and compassionate insights to help you:
- Make sense of the emotional contradictions of caring.
- Better understand your thoughts, feelings and reactions.
- Protect your sense of self while continuing to care.
- Respond to yourself with the same compassion you offer someone else.
Whether you're new to caring or have been doing it for years, this book is a reminder that your experience matters too.
Because while the caring role may one day end, what it shapes in you will remain.
