Reseña del libro "Walking in the Caregiver's Shoes: Caring for the Family Caregiver (en Inglés)"
Caregivers need care too! People tend to think of the person who is receiving care instead of the strung-out caregivers whose needs go unmet until it is too late. Caregivers need someone to come along beside them to encourage and point them to their only true source of strength and grace. It is vitally important for those involved in the life of a caregiver to understand that caregivers are in a battle physically, emotionally, and spiritually for their own health, sanity, and well-being. Many caregivers are neglected, misunderstood, treated unfairly, or physically abused. In many cases, caregivers struggle all alone. Some don't know how to ask for help, while others are afraid to ask. On the other hand, they may not even know what they need to ask. In the pages of this book, you will learn ways to love, encourage, aid, and maybe even save the life of a distraught caregiver. You will also learn what not to do. Caregivers already feel inadequate. You don't want to add to that feeling. They need a listening ear and sometimes a defender too. If you are a member of the caregiver's family, a friend, an acquaintance, or neighbor who has the desire to be a catalyst or a channel for the grace of God to a weary caregiver, then this book is for you! Even though this book is primarily for the one who is trying to help and encourage the family caregiver, it contains much encouragement, information, and help for the family caregiver as well.
