In this hard-hitting defence of the informal carer, Rex W Last draws on years of experience looking after his wife, who recently died after a long stay in a care home with dementia, and many years before that both had been campaigning on the carer’s role in mental health issues. He confronts the neglect of the "informal" carer, both in the lack of any training or preparation for the caring role, and, more significantly, in helping them cope with the huge challenges of losing their role when their loved one enters full-time care. In the absence of official support, he offers a wealth of information, advice and encouragement based on his own personal experiences.
