Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For five years, ending in 2005, Sheryl Karas worked as a Family Caregiving Consultant at the Alzheimer's Association and Del Mar Caregiver Resource Center helping families taking care of loved ones with incurable progressive memory loss and dementia. Trying to find services needed to provide basic care is what brought people in to see her first, but as the caregivers became more ensconced in their caregiving roles inevitably emotional and spiritual issues would become their primary concerns. Sheryl's role shifted to providing a combination of practical and spiritual care. During this period she wrote a caregiver newsletter every month and this book is the result.The author uses a very open, nondogmatic spiritual frame, appropriate for people of all religious backgrounds or none at all. Inspirational, comforting, and informative--highly recommended for anyone involved with long term care.

At the Heart of the Matter affords the caregiver an opportunity to personalize his or her caregiving journey based on their individual needs.

Points to ponder: caregivers are guided through the spiritual journey as they are prompted to address questions at the end of each chapter. Assessments: to take a closer look at spiritual strengths, find out what best interests individual caregivers and what strategies individuals feel most comfortable with when it comes to assisting a loved one or client. Poems and interesting stories: each chapter begins with a short story or poem, which sets the tone for the spiritual journey and offers food for thought. Concise chapters: many caregivers do not have much free time. The chapters in this book are concise so even caregivers with limited time have the opportunity to focus on how to continue to support a loved one while practicing the art of self-care.

This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through personal experience as a caregiver to my parents, I gained first-hand knowledge of the responsibilities family caregivers carry on their shoulders. It became important for me to find out what other family caregivers say they need to help sustain their spirit during the journey of caring for someone they love. The outcome of this inquiry is a devotional developed in direct response to family caregiver interviews and their answers to survey questions. Woven between the pages of this devotional is a message for family caregivers, individuals concerned about family caregivers, faith communities, and for community groups that are not faith-based. The devotional is a companion for the caregiving journey that invites you to seek spiritual strength and wisdom from God and to replenish your spirit of compassion and love.

AARP Meditations for Caregivers blends emotional and spiritual motivation to minimize the strains while helping caregivers view their work as a mission from the heart. Chapters are organized by theme, including topics such as accepting your feelings, knowing your limits, seeking support, and managing stress. Each reading offers a poignant meditation, an anecdote drawn from the author's personal or clinical experience, and hands-on or psychological advice to foster coping skills and a sense of fulfillment. The meditations in this dispensable book will provide you with solutions to typical care giving challenges, offer relief and renewal through mindfulness, and inspire you to find meaning and value in the work you do. /DIV

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia changes everything—and not just for the person who receives the diagnosis. Each of the 5.6 million Americans with dementia has one or more caregivers struggling to make meaning while watching their loved one’s personality vanish. The caregiver is sure to be changed—not only by the myriad tasks and responsibilities, but by the soul-searching questions: Dare I hope? Who’s to blame? What do I do with my anger? Where’s God in this? These questions of doubt, guilt, intimacy, depression, and acceptance are ultimately questions of spirit. This book is distinctive: it directly addresses the spiritual needs of the caregiver. It invites the reader to explore his or her own spiritual journey rather than offering pre-determined answers. Appropriate, both for people with faith and people without religion, it encourages dementia caregivers to probe their spiritual questions along with a sympathetic author, one who walked her husband through early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Book excerpt: A Caregiver Within was written with the intention of helping people tasked with caring for their loved ones. This book will detail my journey, my struggles, my hopes, and my victories while caring for my daughter with the help of Spirit, Angels, and my family. You will read about how I wanted to give up; how I felt blessed, and what enlightenment in my spiritual journey this struggle proved to be. Although this journey has brought me to my knees, it has also given me fulfillment. Medical books I have read about caring for a stroke patient leave out the emotional struggle, hopelessness, and loving bond that develops and evolves from the immense pain of the daily struggle and tears, spiritual and angelic intervention, and the need for positivity one needs to summon to be able to continue the journey of healing. I felt like the medical books labeled all the facts medically, but they ignored the nitty-gritty that goes on every day, as well as the uncertainty of how to deal with it. How was I going to handle my daughter crying and screaming every day and dealing with her bodily excretions? How was I going to give her medications daily and pick her up? This book explains my journey through the effort of caring for my daughter who was too young to be paralyzed and helpless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to show you that God gave you a fruit basket full of attributes as a Christian caregiver to dementia sufferers. These attributes equip you as a Christian caregiver to endure the worst of days with a sense of knowing that God is with you throughout your day. You can apply one or many of these attributes to any given situation and turn it into a positive. I'm not sugar-coating caregiving. It's a very stressful and challenging job. Even when I don't feel like seeing the positives in a situation, a quick devotional reading or scripture does lift my mood so I won't be inclined to rip my hair out (or in my case take my wig off). I've included personal stories that I'm sure you can relate to. I'm not always Susie Sunshine. I'm a real caregiver and I feel your frustration. In each chapter I add a personal story and an accompanying scripture. I share these comical events in dementia care to let you know you're not alone and if you look closely there's something to smile about at least once a day. I laugh with mom so when I write I'm not making fun of her. I feel sympathy for her condition and she even laughs herself at the things that happen sometimes. The days can be bad, I know. When you're having one of those dark days, I hope you pick up this book and read it while you take a moment for yourself.

In addition to practical tips, readers will find ways to care for themselves. Subjects addressed in Compassionate Caregiving include: how to balance work and caregiving; when and how to find home healthcare or care facilities; long-distance caregiving; how to provide for the dying; and much more.

Book excerpt: As the population ages, it is increasingly likely one will find himself or herself in the role of caregiver of someone elderly, chronically ill, or with a disability. Although it is a role many are unprepared for, it is one that is assumed out of love, necessity, or a combination of both. Now that you are a caregiver, what do you do? Author Cynthia Hill knows the fear and uncertainty you feel from firsthand experience. In Care for the Caregiver: Comfort and Encouragement for the Journey, Hill discusses topics important to caregivers. You will learn about the importance of respite care, stressors faced by caregivers, getting through the daily routine of caregiving, and how others can help caregivers. She shares how to handle the inevitable difficult decisions caregivers must make. Hill also explains how and why you need to depend on God, the ultimate caregiver. There is a list of suggested hymns that can give you the spiritual uplift needed on those days when you feel youve reached the end of your rope. A list of resources is provided for those who need additional assistance in a specific area. It takes preparation and perseverance to accomplish what has been set before you. But with the information found in Care for the Caregiver: Comfort and Encouragement for the Journey, you can find peace, confidence, and assurance that you can handle the challenges of caregiving with the application of practical informationand Gods help.
