HOMEWORK: Log onto the __Genius of Caring__ page on The Genius of Marian website and find the Story Sharing Project. This project captures the complex emotional experience of caring for loved ones and offers visitors a place to share stories and connect with others. You should read some of the stories and then write a personal story, about a family member with Alzheimer’s OR another issue that requires family caregiving. You will share your stories during the next class and then have the option of posting them on the website.
