Many caregivers of those with dementia feel overwhelmed from the struggles they face with the burdens of caregiving. They can feel alone and isolated.

All caregivers of people with Alzheimer's - both women and men - face a devastating toll. Due to the physical and emotional burden of caregiving, Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers had $9.3 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2013.

Download or read book A Caregiver's Journey written by Karen L. Twichell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Someone will be introduced to the world of caregiving for each and every new patient. Add thousands of AIDS, stroke, heart disease and Alzheimer's cases and you discover that there is an entire community of caregivers who have many of the same fears and concerns as the patients they care about. Patients become the immediate focus of attention by their medical team and by their families the minute they receive the diagnosis. They are bombarded with information about their disease, about treatment and about support groups. They are offered books and pamphlets and tapes and group sessions. Who is there to help the caregiver? Those who land the job of primary caregiver often have no experience in nursing, no knowledge of the medical jargon, and are prepared with nothing more substantial than their love for the patient. A Caregiver's Journey addresses both the practical and emotional issues facing the family. Many books and pamphlets recognize the caregiver but focus on the patient. This is a practical and helpful guide focusing on the specific concerns of the caregiver.

Download or read book 112 Days written by Lauri Smith and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel alone? Caring for an aging parent or loved one is no easy task. You love them deeply and want to embrace this calling. But a lack of experience exposes how much you don't know, and it is overwhelming. As your new life continues, isolation presses in until it becomes alarmingly familiar and comfortable. Resounding whispers shout that you are the only one struggling this way. You feel like God has left your whole world as the life you knew evaporates and the daily challenges of your new reality grow. Before I stepped into this role, I thought dementia was just extreme forgetfulness. I had no idea it could bring about such a change of personality, including angry outbursts, irrational fears, and impossible demands. I was thoroughly unprepared and ill-equipped. So, I wrote the book I wish I had when I faced this ordeal. Here, I share what I learned as caregiver and decision-maker and what in-home hospice does and does not provide. Your situation will be different from mine, but caregiving has more commonalities than you might think, and knowing you are not alone, you are not crazy, and that God has not left your side can bring comfort. May this book help you carry all you hold and bring glimpses of His love in the chaotic storm.

Book Synopsis The Mindful Caregiver by : Nancy L. Kriseman
Download or read book The Mindful Caregiver written by Nancy L. Kriseman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caregiving can be enormously challenging, terrifically rewarding, and potentially draining. Caregivers often wonder how they will navigate the tumultuous waters of caregiving and not lose themselves completely. The Mindful Caregiver highlights two major approaches to help transform the journey: adopting a practice of mindfulness, which helps caregivers become more self-aware and fully present with the person with whom they are caring, and honoring “the spirit-side” of caregiving which offers new ways of connecting to one another. These approaches take into account not just the needs of the care recipient, but also the needs of the caregiver and other people in his/her life. Remembering to care for oneself when someone else is in great need can be difficult, but with the suggestions and tips in this book, any caregiver can cultivate routines and practices that benefit everyone. Solutions that caregivers can use in their day to day routines are provided, so caregivers who use them can feel more empowered and hopeful. Using real stories throughout, Nancy Kriseman offers self-care exercises and addresses a wide variety of subjects such as setting realistic expectations, making the best possible decisions, advocating effectively, and evaluating available resources and services. The Mindful Caregiver provides inspiration, encouragement, and guidance for finding ease in the caregiving journey. By emphasizing both mindfulness and the spiritual dimension, caregivers can reap the gifts of caregiving, appreciate the special moments, and find strength during the challenging times.
