Comfort and Be Comforted: Reflections for Caregivers (Grief Resources) Pat Samples

More and more people are being called upon to provide care for elderly, infirm or disabled relatives. Caring for a parent with Alzheimer's, a child with Down's syndrome or a loved one who is suffering can be an all-consuming task that lasts for many years. A lack of training, inadequate healthcare systems and interpersonal tensions all complicate the task of caregiving. This book offers suggestions for dealing with fatigue, anger, worry, finances and other practical matters along with meditations on themes of hope, patience, service, love, appreciation and dozens of other vital issues.
