Co-Authors Daphne Reiley and Joseph LaGuardia work with caregivers on a virtually day to day basis.

The authors have created a website dedicated to their recently published book A Tapestry of Love: The Spirituality of Caregiving, providing their insights into the spiritual struggles facing caregivers as well as links to resources – both written and online.

In writing A Tapestry of Love, the two authors have provided a tool for caregivers in their spiritual journeys. Caregivers often have difficulty staying connected with God as well as often feeling isolated and prone to exhaustion, loneliness, depression, anger and resentment. Within its pages, A Tapestry of Love introduces spiritual practices helpful to caregivers and others in finding spiritual resources for the endurance and strength necessary to make the journey of caregiving a fulfilling one.
