"Surviving Eldercare: Where Their Needs End and Yours Begin" is for
all women who are caregivers for an elderly parent or relative. It
provides a body-mind-spirit approach to caregiving and is written
in a style that will strengthen and guide the reader while on their
caregiving journey. Many often ignored topics such as
daughter-parent dynamics; the powerful feelings such as anger and
the stress of caregiving while in menopause are covered in depth.
Surviving Eldercare is also the personal story of the author Ellen
Besso; a counselor and coach who is the caregiver for her mother
who has Alzheimer's. This is not a book of practical 'how-to's',
although you will find useful tips in it. It is a book about
change. As the author writes in the introduction "It's about
digging a little deeper into yourself... questioning... asking
yourself if you are happy with the choices you're making in your
life... if you're doing what you love to do. You may be familiar
with some of the ideas mentioned, but good things bear repeating.
We've all heard that we need to hear things many times before they
really sink in." "Surviving Eldercare: Where Their Needs End and
Yours Begin" will help women to look at their physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual needs from every aspect of their life...in the
workplace, in relationships with others and most importantly, in
the relationship with one's self. The book encourages the reader to
question their beliefs; and to change the thinking and learned
habits that are often associated with a woman being a midlife
caregiver. Each chapter of this book talks about a different aspect
of life as a MidLife Caregiver. The accompanying complementary
Exercise Booklet will help you identify your needs as a caregiver.
