In The Invisible Patient, national speaker and podcaster, senior care advisor, and caregiver advocate Annalee Kruger teaches caretakers how to appreciate the blessings of being a caregiver while also looking after themselves. Fulfilling the role of family caregiver is hard work, even if chosen willingly as an act of love to another. The stress of being a caregiver can lead to burnout and exhaustion and, in some cases, financial peril IF an Aging Plan is not in place. All this ongoing self-sacrifice causes a phenomenon known as compassion fatigue, leading caregivers to become the "invisible patient.”

Annalee leaves no stone unturned, providing personal anecdotes and scenarios about the caregiving process, and includes numerous references and resources in this guide to caring for the caregiver.

With the recent popularity on the topic of compassion fatigue in caregivers, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Invisible Patient subject matter is a hot topic and a must-read for adult children of seniors.
