On Caregiving With RobCares: Rob Harris

This Thursday, May 30th we welcome Rob Harris @rob_cares as our guest. 
In 1990, Rob Harris, a career Human Resources professional and family man, had never encountered the word “caregiver.” He had no idea what the word represented.
But then he and his wife learned she had cancer when she was just thirty-one years old, and everything changed. Harris was thrown into the role as caregiver in a matter of hours, and he had no idea what to do, where to seek help and guidance, or how to provide selfless support to his wife.
Now, 22 years later, and after being a caregiver for a good part of those two decades, he wrote a poignant story of love, compassion and dedication, strategically interspersing each event with 70 vital caregiving tips (learning lessons) that educates all readers, including caregivers, patients, family members, friends and colleagues.
We’re In This Together: A Caregiver’s Story has been a number #1 bestselling ebook on Amazon.com in the Physician & Patient Caregiving category. His second book, We’re In This Together: A Caregiver’s Guide is currently in production.
Harris’ work extends well beyond his book. He is a speaker, radio host and has pioneered a caregiver and patient support organization, known as RobCares LLC. His mission is to communicate with caregivers worldwide through blogs, speaking engagements, coaching and advice so that the best caregiving services possible can be offered to their loved ones.
Harris has received the endorsement of celebrities and medical authorities. He has appeared on several video and radio shows, including NPR and Breast Cancer Answers, and has been quoted in print and internet articles, including the TodayShow.com. Excerpts of his book are scheduled to appear in the August-September, 2013 edition of Coping With Cancer magazine, with a circulation of a half a million readers.
Harris is the proud father of two military officers, both in the U.S. Army. One is currently serving his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. His other son recently completed his second deployment (Iraq and Afghanistan) and is now stationed stateside.
