I had planned for this month’s blog, second in our series about common mistakes that family caregivers make, to be about the importance of having a support system in place. The first blog in this series stresses the importance of planning ahead, not waiting for a crisis to force vital decisions. Revisit Part 1: Not Planning in Advance.

During those six years, while working on the phones, I also worked on becoming a leader in my field.
