Book Synopsis The Fruits of the Spirit for Family Caregivers by : Angela H. Holmes
Download or read book The Fruits of the Spirit for Family Caregivers written by Angela H. Holmes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 40 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Caring for the Spirit of the Family Caregiver by : Rev. Dr. Beryl Dennis
Download or read book Caring for the Spirit of the Family Caregiver written by Rev. Dr. Beryl Dennis and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. 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.

Book Synopsis Devotions for Caregivers by : Marilyn Driscoll
Download or read book Devotions for Caregivers written by Marilyn Driscoll and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often when we think about those who are sick or homebound, we think only of the patient, and rarely realize that there is a caregiver who is equally tied to the home and the restrictive schedule of the illness. This book is comprised of easy-to-read-and-digest devotional prayers, each supplication based on a biblical reading AND containing a brief concluding prayer. A suggested "Stop For A Minute" section after the final brief prayer allows a moment for the reading from Scripture to sink in, and, hopefully, help the exhausted caregiver "refuel" spiritually and emotionally. Not a "grief-resource" book, but, rather, a book to help caregivers care for themselves too, this work makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who spends him/herself in taking care of others. Highlights: --the devotional thoughts are short and to the point, specifically directed to the caregiver --easy to read --a spiritual drink for those short on time --theset "daily devotions" are unique in their specific application to the world of the caregiver +
Book Synopsis The Fruit of the Spirit by : Al L. Holloway
Download or read book The Fruit of the Spirit written by Al L. Holloway and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the schism of valuing spirituality with respect to social work practice has lessened over the years, there continues to be a gap in our understanding as to exactly what spirituality is and how one might incorporate it within social work practice? It is my contention that social workers should not only be incorporating spirituality within their practice, but also, they should become spiritual exemplars themselves. Fruit of the Spirit: A Primer for Spiritually-minded Social Workers provides some provocative notions that will spur the reader forward on his/her spiritual development. It introduces to the reader the notion of spiritual differentiation from the animalistic notion of self (which I describe as the "indifferent-heart realm"), to the development of humanistic principles ("craving-heart realm") to the ultimate experience of our purposeful journey of being fully cognizant of our spiritual selves ("pure-heart realm"). This process is exemplified with a gardening metaphor, which the reader can progress from "seeding" (awareness of one's spiritual self and the sowing of spiritual seeds), "weeding" (the structure and care of developing our spiritual selves) and the "harvesting" (the ingesting and granting of spiritual "fruits" that has been produced). Traditional knowledge of social work practice helps to elucidate the student; whereas, embracing spiritual principles is about transforming and transcending the student to higher levels. The "fruits" that are gathered are the attributes of God (e.g., love, peace, goodness, etc.). There are exercises at the end of each chapter that will assist the reader in developing his/her spirituality.
Book Synopsis Finding Grace in Caregiving by : Bradley C. Hanson
Download or read book Finding Grace in Caregiving written by Bradley C. Hanson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Grace in Caregiving arises out of Bradley Hanson’s quest for grace in caregiving his wife, Marion, who has Alzheimer’s Disease. Hanson knows from long experience that caregiving someone with dementia is very tiring and stressful. In search of spiritual practices that would foster patience and kindness, he turned to Scripture for guidance. The heart of the book is reflection on the qualities that St. Paul calls the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, and gentleness. Drawing also on his personal interviews with others across the country who care for someone with some form of dementia, Hanson gives caregivers encouragement, guidance, and hope. Those of us who do long-term caring for someone with dementia, whether we are a family member or professional caregiver, generally try to be patient and kind. Yet the stress and fatigue of long-term caregiving may lead us at times to erupt with anger. Since caring for his beloved wife, Marion, since her Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2010, Brad Hanson has looked to what St. Paul calls the fruit of the Spirit in strengthening his kindness.

For the Love of God and Family is intended to draw you into the reality of what God has chosen to bless you with during this chapter in your life.

That, in its own right, is a God-given blessing beyond anything you have ever experienced. For the Love of God and Family will give you the tools you need to guard your heart and protect that joy while living in this precious season of life. You will see where it will be necessary to console yourself to flexibility toward ever-changing challenges. Martha will use this book to help you discover the hard questions that need to be asked, and the answers you should expect to gather the information and help you are going to require.

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.
Book Synopsis The Struggles of Caregiving by : Nell E. Noonan
Download or read book The Struggles of Caregiving written by Nell E. Noonan and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caregiving is a demanding task that takes a huge toll on the person providing care—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Nell Noonan, speaking from her own experience as caregiver for her husband, describes caregiving as a "cataclysmic spiritual experience." She says it's critical for caregivers to practice self-care so they can cope with their situation. Paying attention to one's spiritual health is especially important. The 28 Days format (4 weeks of brief daily readings that include scripture and prayer) provides an accessible way for caregivers, typically stressed and pressed for time, to devote a few minutes to their spiritual health. Noonan's honesty and faith are hallmarks of her writing. Speaking from her own experience and the experiences of others, she does not avoid difficult situations and the feelings that accompany them. Noonan witnesses to the strength she finds as she continually turns to God, even in her darkest moments. Caregivers will appreciate these devotions that are both forthright and uplifting. This book makes a thoughtful gift for any caregiver or for staff members of a facility for older adults.
