Care For Caregivers: (Reprint Of Caring For The Caregiver)

One group of individuals have been overlooked: the caregivers. They are not overlooked intentionally. By the nature of their role, they are content to stay in the shadow of their loved ones, focused on the needs of the seriously ill or dying. They move quietly through the death process, providing and comforting as they go. Content to lay aside their own feelings, hurts, wants, and needs, they make the waning days as pleasant as possible. These individuals often feel isolated and alone, but they remain strong for the sake of those around them. In spite of their courage, caregivers desperately need encouragement, comfort, appreciation, love, and a helping hand during this difficult time. This brief book will address those things. Penned by a caregiver who stood faithfully by his wife's side for three years, watching cancer slowly ravage her body and ultimately take her life; the author has firsthand knowledge of a caregiver's experience. He shares practical suggestions to help other caregivers survive emotion- ally. This book will: -Give practical ways to recognize and cope with different stages of illness -Provide helpful information about medical terms, procedures, and treatments -Offer suggestions on how to remain emotionally, spiritually, and physically healthy -Cite ways to identify and accept outside help from family and friends -Help family and friends understand what caregivers experience and suggest ways to help and encourage them. -Suggest personal steps to work through the grieving process -Give help for the present and hope for the future More than anything else, the book reminds caregivers that no matter how dark the way may seem, God is still there. No matter how dim the future may look, he is there. No matter what one must endure, he is there. He is there no matter how emotionally wounded one might feel. He gives hope. He offers help. Caregivers can be happy again.
