The end of a caregiving experience leaves you a new person, yet without the time and perspective to adjust to that newness. It also brings up a conundrum—how do you move forward as this new person when you're missing the one who just died? "After Caregiving Ends, A Guide to Beginning Again" accompanies you as you cope with two losses—the loss of your caregiving role and the loss of your family member or friend.As a former family caregiver, you have access to information about grieving and settling an estate and selling a house. What you can't find is information about how to close out a caregiving experience. Caregiving ends in an instant and yet the the memory of the experience lingers. You may worry you didn't do enough to prevent a death. You may fret over discussions you didn't have with your caree. You might carry resentment toward family members who didn't step in to help. You might worry about the new make-up of your family; without your caree, will the family stay intact? And, you worry about finding another purpose as meaningful as caregiving.Organized into seven sections, "After Caregiving Ends, A Guide to Beginning Again" features practical tips, helpful insights and comforting perspectives of former family caregivers adjusting to life after caregiving."In the midst of caregiving, we are so tuned in to our caree's needs that we forget how to care for ourselves. Then in the blink of an eye, our caregiving journey ends and our lives are changed in oh-so-many ways. Suddenly we become a caregiver to ourselves with little direction on what to do. In Denise Brown's book, 'After Caregiving Ends. A Guide to Beginning Again,' we learn how to take care of ourselves and start anew at our own pace, guided by Denise's splendid care plan. No matter where you are in your caregiving journey, this is a must read!" ~ Chris MacLellan, who cared for his partner

Already Toast written by Kate Washington and has been published by Beacon Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-03-16 with Medical categories.
The story of one woman’s struggle to care for her seriously ill husband—and a revealing look at the role unpaid family caregivers play in a society that fails to provide them with structural support. Already Toast shows how all-consuming caregiving can be, how difficult it is to find support, and how the social and literary narratives that have long locked women into providing emotional labor also keep them in unpaid caregiving roles. When Kate Washington and her husband, Brad, learned that he had cancer, they were a young couple: professionals with ascending careers, parents to two small children. Brad’s diagnosis stripped those identities away: he became a patient and she his caregiver. Brad’s cancer quickly turned aggressive, necessitating a stem-cell transplant that triggered a massive infection, robbing him of his eyesight and nearly of his life. Kate acted as his full-time aide to keep him alive, coordinating his treatments, making doctors’ appointments, calling insurance companies, filling dozens of prescriptions, cleaning commodes, administering IV drugs. She became so burned out that, when she took an online quiz on caregiver self-care, her result cheerily declared: “You’re already toast!” Through it all, she felt profoundly alone, but, as she later learned, she was in fact one of millions: an invisible army of family caregivers working every day in America, their unpaid labor keeping our troubled healthcare system afloat. Because our culture both romanticizes and erases the realities of care work, few caregivers have shared their stories publicly. As the baby-boom generation ages, the number of family caregivers will continue to grow. Readable, relatable, timely, and often raw, Already Toast—with its clear call for paying and supporting family caregivers—is a crucial intervention in that conversation, bringing together personal experience with deep research to give voice to those tasked with the overlooked, vital work of caring for the seriously ill.

For family caregivers of persons with chronic illnesses, the day can be too full of worries, laundry, hands-on care and medications. It definitely can be an unhappy situation. But, can it be a happier one?In this workbook, we're setting out to find out: Can we increase happiness during a difficult time in life? Each month, you'll set goals based on one word: Plan, Replace, Space, Join, Resolve, Let Go, Quiet, Teach, Learn, Rejoice, Save, Say. You can set one goal or more, but try to keep within three goals.You'll keep progress of how well you're doing with the goal(s) and reflect on what's going well. At the end of each month, we hope an effective action becomes a helpful habit.Why not ask others to join you? Companionship on the journey helps you stay on your road to more happiness. Invite your friends, family members and support group members.Readers say:“To find accountability in making a daily habit part of your routine is very powerful. “Take Time” does this. I so enjoy the challenges and how they can add to our happiness during a difficult time, how the happiness can even grow. I have been caring for my mother for several years. I became complacent in feeling as though I couldn't have challenges for personal growth or true happiness while in caregiving – that one day I would, but not now. Take Time doesn't allow you to wait. It will go with you and stay with you, pointing out the happiness along the way. You can live life with the person you're caring for. I am so grateful for Take Time – for all of Denise Brown's books where she goes with us on our journeys, helping us learn, grow, find meaning and keep it all with us during caregiving and beyond.”“What a wonderful book! I am a family caregiver for my husband, and it hasn't been easy to be happy on a daily basis. I LOVE how this book gives me a focus for a month! When a day is challenging, it's nice to have a place to refer to remind myself that I can still be happy. I'd recommend this book for anyone, not just caregivers.”

The Caregiving Years helps you find your answers to these questions: Why me? Why now? What now? While other books focus on your family member or friend who needs your help and care, this book focuses just on you and what you need to manage the experience of caregiving. The handbook, now in its ninth edition, helps you feel better about your todays while helping you understand what you'll need for your tomorrows. You'll read what caregiving is really like but you'll also see that you will make it through. The last stage, The Godspeed Caregiver, nudges you to live your dream, a dream newly defined by your caregiving experience. The caregiving experience begins when you expect to care for a family member and ends about two years after caregiving ends. Because caregiving can be such a complicated experience, the handbook provides simple coping strategies, wrapped in a keyword and a purpose, to help in each stage. You carry each coping strategy into the next stage so you are armed with empowering tools. Each stage also includes action plans to guide you. The handbook tells the story of a family caregiver throughout the stages, as well as offers tips to help you navigate the bad days, the difficult decisions and the overwhelming emotions. You'll find articles which offer suggestions to give you courage when you venture out of the house after staying inside for too long, exercises to help you understand your limits and build your team, and quizzes to make you laugh, reset your perspective and remind you that you have solutions. The handbook will prompt you to be proactive so you'll be as ready as you can for what's next, and will show you how to create memories which will comfort you later. Readers say: "A masterpiece." "Absolutely terrific. You really have captured the stages well, very very well... This is a fabulous resource for caregivers." Denise originally developed the stages of caregiving in 1997 and regularly revises the concept and its insights to ensure its relevances for today's family caregivers. She presents the workshop, The Caregiving Years, at conferences in the United States and Canada.
