At some point in our lives, we will be called upon to serve as a caretaker—either for children, spouses, our parents, or even grandchildren.

That's where Dr. Merle Griff enters the picture. In her book, Solace in the Storm, Dr. Griff offers solutions to common problems faced by caregivers informed by her experience as a therapist and CEO of an adult daycare program.

Dr. Griff will help you fend off uninvited opinions from friends and family members, navigate complex healthcare systems, ask for help, and find time for yourself to process your emotions and recharge. She supports her advice with stories from people who have faced similar challenges. In her book, she looks at caregiving at all stages of the human lifecycle, from childhood to older adulthood.

Solace in the Storm is a lifelong resource for quick tips and words of support and encouragement.

"From parenthood, from caring for my mother and husband, and from listening to my clients, I've learned a lot about caregiving—lessons that you only learn from practical experience," Dr. Griff said. "When you're overwhelmed, stressed, and have your hands full, you need ideas that are quick, easy, and digestible. This book is meant to be a valuable guide for readers full of information to seamlessly integrate into your life."
