Download or read book Watering the Soul written by Keli Gooch and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are a caregiver. You work tirelessly every day, but there is one thing that's pretty much guaranteed that You are probably NOT doing.... TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF! Watering the Soul is a 91-day journal focused on mindful, purposeful writing prompts and activities for a caregiver like you. Research shows that many caregivers are at risk of developing depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart disease, and even post-traumatic stress. Often caregivers get lost- caught up in the mix of endless doctor's appointments, physical exhaustion, intense pressure and guilt for the myriad of emotions that build up. Even the history of receiving bad news, frequent hospital visits, or the lack of socialization with other people- the isolation that sometimes comes along with caregiving can just be overwhelmingly too much. This journal contains 129 pages of writing prompts and activities based off of my own experiences as a caregiver and my profession as a mental health therapist. It is not another thing to add to your 'to-do list'. Watering the Soul includes weekly focus words. 6 days of the week are filled with daily writing prompts centered on recording your thoughts, hopes, and dreams, as well as your thoughts on filling the role of caregiver. On every 7th day, there is an actionable step such as guided meditation, guided imagery, and focused relaxation techniques. This journal is here to help fatigued caregivers refocus, recharge, and discover how to start living truly refreshed again.

Download or read book Through the Fire written by Donna Hutcherson and published by Donna Hutcherson DBA for Those Who Care. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a heartbeat, I now had a new full-time job... as Dale's caregiver." What do you do when suddenly, in one devastating moment, you're a patient advocate - nurse - decision maker 24/7? You begin to glean and gather in the midst of all the caregiving. Personal stories. Research. Successes. Failures. Truth. This journal recounts a caregiver's journey with a husband who suffered multiple strokes, lost his ability to talk, and fought his way back to living life fully in his highly individual-and ultimately wonderful, "new normal" way. Only those in the 24/7 caregiving role truly understand the depth and weightiness of this responsibility - facing the great unknown of physical, mental and emotional trauma. For all those extraordinary individuals who find themselves thrust into this seemingly nonstop caregiving...and for their families, Donna tells her story. Highly personal, she offers insights to be gleaned from the pages of her public and private writings - the good, the bad, and even the ugly. Through the Fire will encourage caregivers not merely to survive but to thrive in walking their own ever-changing path as they meet the often overwhelming needs of the care-needing person that they love.
