Book Description
Download PDF Blessings Of Caring For The Elderly eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Who is really an elder? The Elder is the one that is older than the oldest. The Elder is the one that is called Ancient of Days. The Elder is the one that has been before the word elder was known. The Elder has been before the world was formed. The Creator that no one created is the Elder that has an answer to it all. As we listen to our elderly ones and yield to their godly counsel and advice, our time of training in the school of hard knocks is significantly reduced. But the fact is, there are some elders that you don't want to ever be in contact with throughout your life on earth. This is the reason you need to know who the elders you must care for are in order for you not to live a life without a guide. When you take care of the elderly, it brings blessing to the generations coming after you. Your love and care releases a desire to bless and not curse. Elders represent and contribute a lot to society because they provide wisdom, guidance, and direction for the younger generation, having gone through the road of life. It is a scriptural principle'please read Genesis 27:1?29.

Download PDF Redefining Aging eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. The bestselling author of Living Through Personal Crisis delivers “a comprehensive guide to the challenges of elder care for family members” (Jesse F. Ballenger, coeditor of Treating Dementia). Caring for an elderly family member can be overwhelming. But fulfilling life experiences are still possible for both caregivers and their loved ones, despite the stress and fatigue of caregiving. In this comprehensive book, bestselling author Ann Kaiser Stearns explores the practical and personal challenges of both caregiving and successful aging. She couples findings from the latest research with powerful insights and problem-solving tips to help caregivers achieve the best life possible for those they care for—and for themselves as they age. Topics include: Improving the quality of life for the one giving and the one receiving care Distinguishing normal aging from early warning signs Understanding caregiver sadness, resentment, guilt, and grief Using strategies and skills to minimize an impaired elder’s distress and emotional outbursts and the caregiver’s own anxieties about growing old Finding resources to aid in the care of the loved one and protect the caregiver from stress overload Moving forward after the death of a loved one to have a meaningful life of one’s own Overcoming ageist stereotypes and deciding what kind of “old person” one will be Making life easier for those who someday will care for us Redefining Aging will help readers think differently about caregiving and their own aging. “Ann Kaiser Stearns offers a wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion of lessons learned about the joys and challenges of caregiving for a chronically ill loved one.” —Peter V. Rabins, MD, MPH, coauthor of The 36-Hour Day

Book Description
Download PDF A Catholic Guide To Caring For Your Aging Parent eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. Monica Dodds understands the pressures that millions of middle-aged Americans endure as they become caregivers to aging parents. Her professional work with the elderly has exposed her to the complex medical, financial, and legal problems that entangle older people. Her personal experience helping ailing family members has given her deep insight into the difficulties caregivers face in dealing with these problems. A Catholic Guide to Caring for Your Aging Parent is a comprehensive guide for caregivers. Dodds insists that faith is a fundamental part of caregiving, and her approach is deeply rooted in Catholic spirituality. She shows adult children how they can love and serve their aging parents better by deepening their own spiritual lives. "Caregiving", she says, "is a time of many grace-filled moments." Dodds explains how to properly assess the needs of a failing older person, and she writes in detail about the physical, mental, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual dimensions of care. Three extensive appendices provide checklists for assessing needs, a compilation of resources, and an anthology of prayers.

Download PDF Circles Of Care eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. "My parent needs help, but refuses to consider a nursing home." That’s the dilemma facing millions of baby boomers today. How can we ensure responsible, compassionate, even uplifting care for our aging parents at home? Mindfulness is key, Ann Cason writes. Good care begins with watching and listening, with entering the elder's world and accepting it. Drawing on decades of experience in caring for the elderly, Cason helps us understand how old age feels and how we can help. Then, through exercises, care studies, and numerous examples and suggestions, Circles of Care shows how to: • Work out a plan of care • Assemble and foster a caregiving team • Create an uplifting daily routine—and vary it creatively • Plan nutrition, medical needs, finances, and outings • Improve the elder’s personal care and physical environment • Ease conflicts between elders and their caregivers or families • Avoid caregiver burnout • Work with mood swings, confusion, and memory loss

Download PDF Eldercare As Art And Ministry eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. This book addresses the fact that, despite the inevitability of aging, the vast majority of us are ill-prepared for eldercare. Eldercare as Art and Ministry broadens and deepens an understanding of eldercare as an art and as a ministry. As art, eldercare requires creativity, imagination, and perseverance. Here, ministry is considered in its fullest meaning, to include guiding, administering, serving, waiting upon, or acting as a loved one's agent. Through stories, lessons, and poignant vignettes, Jackson-Brown calls each one of us—whether young or older, ordained or laity, fortunate or less fortunate, prepared or not—to serve and care for an aging loved one. For lay people and professionals, this book is a guide to navigate the challenges of eldercare and to find meaning in this important work.

Download PDF As My Parents Age eBook. You can read online on your kindle, Android, iPhone, iPad. For most of us it is not the "ifs" but the "whens": when I notice the first signs; when we mourn the role reversal; when my children need me too; or when I don't know how to pray. Those are just a few of the fifty-two reflections on the changes, challenges, and blessings of loving your parent as they grow older. Their lives--and yours--begin to change. Knowing that you are not alone, that others have been where you are, is encouraging and uplifting. This is not a how-to, but a me-too, as you see yourself and your own situation lived out in the stories of others.
