Acerca de esta escucha
Are you totally stressed out, overwhelmed, or completely burnt out caring for a loved one? Do you feel alone, isolated, or wish you had more help? Do you feel resentful or guilty?
If this is you, keep reading.
While there are rewards to caring for those we love, there is no denying being a caregiver is a stressful job. It’s physically demanding, mentally exhausting, and emotionally draining. It simply wears us thin.
Having felt all of this and more, Katie Duncan, a nurse practitioner, death coach, and former family caregiver, reveals the secrets she learned throughout her own caregiving experiences, as well as the shared wisdom of other caregivers she’s encountered along her path.
You, dear caregiver, deserve to find your peace, your joy, and yourself again.
In Dear Caregiver, It’s Your Life Too, you’ll discover:
- Simple and easy-to-do tricks to help lower your daily stress and avoid burnout.
- Key resources you can utilize to get you the help you need to relieve several caregiving burdens.
- Solutions you can use to create more freedom and personal space to allow you to reset.
- A blueprint to mastering and protecting the sleep you desire and deserve.
- Encouraging techniques to drop the guilt, stop negative self-talk spirals, and keep you going.
- Inspiring practices to help improve your mood and boost your energy.
- Empowering strategies to help you build resilience, re-establish your self-identity, and strengthen your connection with others.
When you suffer, they suffer. Caring for yourself makes caring for your loved one easier and more enjoyable, leaving no room for guilt. Even if you have no time to spare, these tips are easy and simple-to-use.

Stop depriving yourself of true happiness, and learn how to finally have a real loving relationship with yourself. There’s a lot more to self-love than pampering yourself or buying things that give you a temporary high. Self-love is about taking care of yourself emotionally, mentally, and physically. It's about giving yourself unconditional acceptance, compassion, and respect for your own well-being and development.

Many people associate spiritual activities with religion, but sometimes performing spiritual activities is a self-help practice to help a person improve their mental and emotional health. In a nonreligious concept, spirituality emphasizes well-being. This can include holistic activities such as meditation or yoga. Spirituality seeks a connection with something greater than yourself, which can lead to positive emotions such as peace, wonder, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance. If you are eager to get in touch with your soul, carrying out spiritual activities can be of great help.

There are an estimated 6.5 million people in the US who suffer from dementia—a statistic that is only anticipated to increase as time goes on. As their condition worsens, patients become increasingly unable to care for themselves and have to rely on someone else, usually a loved one, to look after them.

Nearly half of US citizens over the age of 85 are suffering from some kind of dementia and require care. Loving Someone Who Has Dementia is a new kind of caregiving book. It's not about the usual techniques, but about how to manage on-going stress and grief. The book is for caregivers, family members, friends, and neighbors, as well as educators and professionals - anyone touched by the epidemic of dementia. Dr. Boss helps caregivers find hope in "ambiguous loss" - having a loved one both here and not here, physically present but psychologically absent.

Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

Looking to some of the world's greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders, Brooks explores how, through internal struggle and a sense of their own limitations, they have built a strong inner character. Labor activist Frances Perkins understood the need to suppress parts of herself so that she could be an instrument in a larger cause. Dwight Eisenhower organized his life not around impulsive self-expression but considered self-restraint.
