The Conscious Caregiver A Mindful Approach to Caring for Your Loved One Without Losing Yourself Linda Abbit 9781440597732 Books Reviews

• Possibility the very best book written on this much needed subject.
  I'm so glad I'm having the chance to read this book.
  If I could give it more stars, I would.
  I highly recommend this book to all caregivers.
• As a caregiver to a loved one with dementia, this book is a Godsend. I found the suggestions for self-care both insightful and timely. If you care for someone else, you also need to care for yourself. Perhaps this book will help you get started.
• Good conversation with caregivers on the challenges of caring for another, what it means, and how the client can explore the emotions and ups and downs of caregiving. It also speaks to the universality of caregiving in generation (you are not alone).
• Nothing super new or earth shattering but helps to see and hear it in writing. Care for self in order to have energy to care for others.
• It is as if the author was reading my mind.... The Conscious Caregiver obviously understands the challenges and accompanying worry, guilt, and love involved in caregiving. First, I felt understood (and maybe not so abnormal!) while reading about the conflicting feelings of caring for a loved one. Then I learned how to handle varied situations, handled with respect for both the caregiver and the person being cared for. The author's years of experience are evident in the practical solutions described.. Finally, I marked sections for future use, places we aren't at yet but may be eventually. I recommend the skilled experience, respectful perspective, immediately useful suggestions, and compassion in the this book.
• This book Is a must read for those who are taking care of aging parents or spouses. A wonderful guide to taking care of your loved ones as well as yourself.
• Great Book,I would buy it over again!
• The Conscious Caregiver by Linda Abbit guides adults how to behave as responsible caregivers when a loved one (a parent or spouse) is living through the frightening and poignant moments of the final stages of life. Many excellent books help new parents learn how to care for newborns and children. These are often best sellers because everyone wants to be the best parent they can become. Too few books help adults prepare for the death of a loved one.
  Linda Abbit covers the subject of conscious caregiving from A to Z. The subtitle A Mindful Approach to Caring for Your Loved One Without Losing Yourself shows you the wisdom of Abbit. Conscious Caregiver serves two purposes; the first is, giving world class care to your loved one, and the second purpose is to do this important work while preserving your emotional, physical, and spiritual life. Abbit has written a masterpiece. Get yourself a copy, study it and recommend it to friends and family members . . . some day you will have to implement the care of a loved one who is dying.
  You want to approach this solemn duty using the best methods to support the care receiver. You want to approach this sacred duty keeping yourself in the best health you can retain. You cannot be of much service to your loved one if you become weak because of your loving care giving. Linda Abbit has been there with her parents and is an experienced eldercare advisor, I urge you to study this book and heed her wisdom.
