Caregiving Wisdom from an Ancient Sage

AARP Virginia and the Organization of Chinese American Women (OCAW) will host a special event featuring local author Veronica Li as she discusses her new book, Confucius Says; a novel about caring for elderly parents based on the author’s own experience. When the pressure of caregiving became overwhelming, she found guidance from an unexpected source: the teachings of the ancient sage Confucius. Enlightened by his wisdom, she finds the courage to go on.

Every day, a silent army of Americans performs a great labor of love by helping their parents and spouses remain at home. While these family caregivers wouldn’t have it any other way, they need some support. If you are a caregiver, you’ll want to stick around after the book reading to learn about AARP’s free resources for family caregivers as well as local community programs and resources that are available to you. Caregivers, you are not alone!
