In the blink of an eye, life's tranquillity can be replaced by the tempest of caregiving.

This is a simple fact that we all have to come to terms with. Despite its prevalence, finding swift, straightforward, and pragmatic guidance to weather the unrelenting storm of caring for a loved one can be a challenge. This is where Solace in the Storm by Dr Merle Griff comes in most handy.

With a background rooted in play therapy with children, Dr.Merle Griff has pioneered therapeutic techniques now utilized globally. This clinical proficiency is evident in Solace in the Storm, where she imparts user-friendly solutions to common caregiving dilemmas.


What distinguishes this book is its profoundly personal touch.

This intimate connection adds a layer of credibility and empathy, making the advice not only sound but also comforting.


Solace in the Storm takes a comprehensive view, addressing caregiving from infancy to tending to elderly parents. This acknowledgment that caregiving demands evolve over time is invaluable. The book also offers excellent counsel on how friends and family can provide meaningful support, whether through practical assistance or offering the right words of solace.


Dr.Merle Griff's prose is articulate, succinct, and easily digestible, rendering it a valuable resource for caregivers from all walks of life. The book's well-organized structure allows for swift reference, ensuring caregivers can find the guidance they need amidst the chaos of their schedules.

This supplementary resource underscores her dedication to offering support and guidance to caregivers in all stages of life.


Solace in the Storm transcends being a mere book—it is a lifelong confidant for caregivers. It offers a reservoir of swift tips, resources, and words of encouragement. This is a book that caregivers will return to time and again, finding comfort within its pages during moments of doubt and exhaustion.
