As I stand at the threshold of this book, I am acutely aware of the delicate yet profound journey we are about to embark on together. The journey of caring for aging parents is one that many of us will inevitably face, yet it remains a topic often shrouded in uncertainty and apprehension. In writing this book, my aim is not only to provide practical guidance and support but also to offer a beacon of light amidst the sometimes tumultuous waters of caregiving. Drawing upon my own experiences, as well as insights gleaned from caregivers and professionals alike, I hope to illuminate the path ahead and instill a sense of reassurance and empowerment within you, the reader. Within these pages, you will find a roadmap for navigating the complexities of aging, from understanding the physical and emotional nuances of growing older to making difficult decisions about medical care and end-of-life preferences. You will discover strategies for fostering open communication, building a support network, and maintaining your own well-being amidst the demands of caregiving. Above all, I invite you to approach this journey with an open heart and a willingness to embrace the challenges and joys that lie ahead. For in caring for our aging parents, we not only honor the love and sacrifices they have bestowed upon us but also embark on a profound journey of growth, compassion, and resilience. May this book serve as a guiding light, illuminating your path and offering solace and wisdom along the way.

In his book, Become a Compassionate CareGiver. Reduce Stress. Avoid Burnout, Richard Anastasi relates how he dealt with the stress of being the CareGiver for his mother as she was dying from primary biliary cirrhosis. He shares proven strategies that make it possible for CareGivers to cope with the stress of care giving. As Anastasi says "the essence of being a CareGiver is to become a compassionate presence and listener. Yes, there are tasks to do, problems to solve, but the attitude you bring to what you do makes all the difference. For at some point, there may be nothing left to do for the person you are caring for. That's when having learned how to be a compassionate CareGiver will be invaluable."

"In a time when tens of millions of people provide care for family members, older adults, and people with special needs, we should all be experts at it. Instead, we often struggle with caring for others while taking care of ourselves. In Take Good Care, author Cynthia Orange brings together compelling testimonies from a wide range of caregivers, advice from leading experts in the field, and her own hard-won wisdom to capture the subtle differences between caretaking and caregiving. With a foreword by Susan Allen Toth, the critically acclaimed author of No Saints around Here: A Caregiver's Days, this book shows us how and why caring for each other can be a mutually rewarding experience. It's easy to become overinvolved in another person's life and needs when giving care. Feeling burdened with expectations and resentments in a codependent relationship hinders a sense of joy, purpose, and engagement. Relationships require empathy and boundaries; with them, a codependent caretaker can transform into an intentional, self-aware, and compassionate caregiver"--

Dr. Walton says, "I had a hard time finding useful information from chaplains that had been 'in the trenches, ' so I wrote this book intending it to be a single source for those that want information that will assist them in attending to the spiritual and physical needs of the seriously ill." Everyone will face serious illness or death of a loved one. Dr. Walton is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and Newburgh Theological Seminary and College of the Bible. He did his pastoral internship at a Missionary Alliance Church, but he claims no denomination. "The Holy Bible is the only authority I require." His love for those in imperfect physical or emotional health led him to pursue the chaplaincy. Dr. Walton is academically prepared, and is experienced with over 7,000 counseling and medical facility visitations. The material in this book will prepare you to help the spiritually needy, and the presentation of the material is almost certain to bless you and strengthen your faith. "Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them. Every day begin the task anew." Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622) Those dealing with the physical or emotional needs and behaviors of those on the journey to death, or those dealing with the difficulties of life-changing illness or injury need special wisdom.

There is no way you can read this book and not feel the pain and joys of Mattie Posey as she lives in the aftermath of the Civil War on a farm in Mississippi. The times are hard and she has to do the work of a man on the family farm, as she has no brothers to help with the farm work. When her religiously prejudiced parents interfere with her love for a catholic boy, Mattie's pain devastates her soul and threatens to break her spirit. Mattie's manic/depressive mother, Annie, vacillates between extreme emotional lows and highs, which cause her to be very strict, and a harsh disciplinarian. Mattie's father, Wade, is a gentle, kind man. However, he does not take a stand against his wife's extreme discipline of the children. Mattie must assume her mother's duties and care for her when she is incapacitated by her depression. A rogue panther is lured to the Posey house by the smell of fresh, butchered pork which hangs in the smokehouse. The family's life is endangered when the dogs corner the panther under the kitchen but Annie's quick thinking and action saves her family. Mattie's love for her horse, Prince and her confidence in his speed entice her to enter the horse race at the Neshoba County Fair. Her determination to prove Prince as the fastest horse in the community causes her to break rules in order to win the race. The Posey family and the black family, who shares their surname, have been bound in a close relationship since Wade and Joshua were small children. The trials of rugged farm life and the illnesses and deaths due to a lack of medical care bind them even closer. When Mattie falls in love with Frank Haney, a boy of the Catholic faith, her prejudiced parents take drastic measures to prevent their marriage, so they decide to elope. The Ku Klux Klan interferes with Wade's efforts to reward his faithful, black friend with a deed to part of his farm. When a cross is burned in his front yard he visits each of the Klan members and gives them a piece of the charred cross. Years later, Mattie meets John Mayo, who is twenty years her senior and when he proposes marriage to her she has difficulty accepting because of her love for Frank.

Millions of Americans are or will be amateur caregivers for ill spouses, parents, or friends. Caregivers today, more than ever, use technology to help manage schedules, medication routines and pharmacy reminders, legal and financial affairs, as well as travel and expenses. Yet recent insurance options and health care’s emerging digital world make for an overwhelming, complex process. If you are one of the 64 million current caregivers, could you access your parents’ critical documents in an emergency, using their user IDs and passwords? Do you know how often your parents or parents-in-law are taking medications, how often your loved one goes to the doctor, and how to be involved in medical and life decisions? Statistics show 85 percent of caregivers are not trained in caregiving, so many people are likely winging it, picking up pieces of information here and advice there. The Caregiver’s Toolbox is your guide to cool apps and online tools, insider tips on how to reduce your medical bills, your privacy rights as a caregiver, where to go for free and low-cost help, and much more. It clearly shows which tools will relieve your stress, and those that may add stress. The authors dedicate much of their professional lives to helping people navigate the health care matrix.
