Caregiving can be enormously challenging, terrifically rewarding,
and potentially draining. Caregivers often wonder how they will
navigate the tumultuous waters of caregiving and not lose
themselves completely. The Mindful Caregiver highlights two major
approaches to help transform the journey: adopting a practice of
mindfulness, which helps caregivers become more self-aware and
fully present with the person with whom they are caring, and
honoring "the spirit-side" of caregiving which offers new ways of
connecting to one another. These approaches take into account not
just the needs of the care recipient, but also the needs of the
caregiver and other people in his/her life. Remembering to care for
oneself when someone else is in great need can be difficult, but
with the suggestions and tips in this book, any caregiver can
cultivate routines and practices that benefit everyone. Solutions
that caregivers can use in their day to day routines are provided,
so caregivers who use them can feel more empowered and hopeful.
Using real stories throughout, Nancy Kriseman offers self-care
exercises and addresses a wide variety of subjects such as setting
realistic expectations, making the best possible decisions,
advocating effectively, and evaluating available resources and
services. The Mindful Caregiver provides inspiration,
encouragement, and guidance for finding ease in the caregiving
journey. By emphasizing both mindfulness and the spiritual
dimension, caregivers can reap the gifts of caregiving, appreciate
the special moments, and find strength during the challenging
times.
