Book excerpt: "Being a lay caregiver is no easy task. You are asked to assume the caregiver role with no training, and at best, minimal support from healthcare professionals. Many family caregivers experience feelings of abandonment, of being overwhelmed with worries of uncertainty. They fear they will unintentionally hurt their loved one and struggle with piecing together medical information on their own. Most of the typical responsibilities of life, such as starting a new job, learning to drive a car, applying to a college, starting an exercise regimen, or going through childbirth involve some prior education or orientation. Caregivers have no such benefit of preparation. Without comparable instruction, your responsibility to care for someone ill looms large. Written by a seasoned oncology nurse with personal experience as a caregiver outside of her professional role, the goal of this book is to help family caregivers feel less alone and provide supportive information and practical resources to guide caregivers in their important work"--

Book excerpt: "Every caregiver's story is unique, but one thing you all have in common is that you need to be nourished to have the resilience and compassion to tend to the needs of those you love. The Caregiver's Companion approaches caregiving not as a burden, but as an opportunity to grow and receive graces and blessings. Written by the founders of Nourish for Caregivers--an organization that seeks to improve the health and spiritual wellbeing of caregivers--this beautifully designed, full-color journal is a practical resource with encouraging readings, prayers, and guided journaling to help you draw strength from your faith in a few sacred moments each day. It is a unique resource to remind you to care for yourself as you care for others. The physical, financial, and emotional demands of caregiving can take an enormous toll, and their high stress levels make caregivers a population at-risk. The Caregiver's Companion provides the encouragement and spiritual nourishment you need to persevere each day--whether your role involves hands-on caregiving, helping from a distance, or lending emotional support to a loved one in an assisted living facility. Each entry in this beautiful full-color guided journal combines prayers, meditations, reflection questions, quotations, and plenty of space for personal journaling, allowing you to capture the highs and lows of your daily experiences"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aaron and Stella Alterra had been married for more than sixty years when Aaron began to notice puzzling lapses in his wife's memory. Innocuous at first, they became more severe and more alarming. After a series of appointments and tests, the Alterras were informed that Stella was one of the more than 4.5 million Americans with Alzheimer's disease. Combining medical research on the disease and often-painful anecdotes of memory loss, deteriorating motor functions, personality shifts, support-group and daycare experiences, and drug trials, Alterra chronicles his transformation from husband to caregiver after his wife's diagnosis. More than a chronology of one family's experience of Alzheimer's disease, The Caregiver is an intelligent, beautifully reflective testimony to how family members turned caregivers become the ultimate advocates for their loved ones in the face of a disease with no cure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caregiver's Companion is a book for people who care for others. It is intended to be a companion, in the sense of a compassionate ally, for those who find themselves, perhaps abruptly, needing to care for others. In November 2012 Patricia Jean Smith's husband Ron suffered a massive attack on his brain. In these pages she describes how her husband's stroke affected her and talks about the critical demands and the marvellous rewards of caring---of exercising and extending care. She also writes about the adventures that otherwise would not have chanced the couple's way had it not been for Ron's stroke. Ultimately she demonstrates that caring for each other, our communities, and the Earth we inhabit, is the most vital work we can do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An uplifting collection of inspirational essays, interviews and advice, The Caregiver's Companion provides support to caregivers in their hour of need. It explores the complete cycle of caring for chronically or terminally ill loved ones-from the early stages of their illness to the months of grieving that follow their passing. To truly help those in need, caregivers must first make sure their own needs are met. With the help of The Caregiver's Companion, you will learn how to deal with the fear, stress and grief that often accompany caring for the sick, as well as come to terms with the finality of death and the relinquishing of the caregiving role. Spiritual and compassionate, The Caregiver's Companion serves as a daily source of support and understanding for anyone facing this complex and sometimes painful role.
