Finding Humor in Caregiving

There’s no doubt about it: caregiving is stressful – and one of the best ways any of us can deal with this stress is through humor.  Renowned French photographer (and caregiver) Sacha Goldberger brings humor to caregiving through a collection of wild, wacky and downright hilarious photos of his grandmother.

“In a society where youth is the supreme value; where wrinkles have to be camouflaged; where old people are hidden as soon as they become cumbersome, where, for lack of time or desire, it is easier to put our elders in hospices rather than take care of them, I wanted to show that happiness in aging was also possible,” writes Sacha Goldberger in his book Mamika: My Mighty Little Grandmother.
