My Life as a New Caregiver Nine Years In

You didn't sign up for this. You just wanted to love your spouse, and somewhere along the way the role changed under you.

Nick Gonzalez knows that feeling from the inside. When his wife, Marisol, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 55, he didn't get a warning or a roadmap. He got nine years of learning as he went, the hard way, one doctor's appointment and one hard night at a time.

This book is what he wishes someone had handed him on day one: nine chapters, one for each year, telling the full story of caregiving, grief, faith, and love.

In it, you'll learn how to:

✅ Navigate Medicare, SSDI, home health care, and caregiver grants, so you're not starting from zero

✅ Recognize and avoid the twelve paths to caregiver burnout before they take you down

✅ Follow a clear roadmap for what to expect next, so you're not searching for answers at 2 a.m.

✅ Turn private struggle into shared conversation, with discussion questions built into every chapter

✅ Hold onto your faith across nine years of caregiving, grief, and love, even on the days it doesn't feel like holding

If you're caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, and some days you're barely holding on yourself, this book won't hand you easy promises that it's all going to be okay. It'll give you a Christian perspective grounded in truth, the practical footing you need, and the reminder that you're not alone in it.
