A Little Book of Self-Care for Caregivers

Being responsible for another person's well-being is a challenge, an honor, and a breathtaking act of commitment. It is also at turns mundane and complex, demanding and rewarding, heartbreaking and joyful. Caregiving for loved ones is something nearly everyone will experience during their lifetime--for aging parents, partners, family, and friends. Yet, all those who care for others face moments of uncertainty, unable to find the space or strength to care for themselves, too. Caregivers need and deserve the chance to process their feelings and find moments of peace and calm. This volume of inspiration and support is rooted in empathy and experience, offering caregivers strategies for self-care and ways to find patience and acceptance in themselves so they can keep going--doing the beautiful work of loving and supporting the people they care for.
