Rebalancing the Roles in Caregiving So All Involved Are Supported
When you care for someone who is dealing with the complexities of aging, illness, or disability, you share intense emotions and form deep bonds. You each have the opportunity to recognize what is most deeply humanGÇòand most deeply DivineGÇòin the other. This sense of reciprocal sharingGÇòbetween the caregiver, care receiver, and with others around youGÇòis the essence of the dance in caresharing.
GÇòfrom the Prelude
The word caregiver typically suggests someone doing all the giving for a frail, physically or mentally challenged, or aging person who is doing all the receiving. Marty Richards proposes a rebalanced approach of caresharing. From this perspective, the Gǣcared forGǥ and the GǣcarerGǥ share a deep sense of connection. Each has strengths and resources. Each can teach the other. Each can share in grief, hope, love and wisdom.
Richards shows you how to move from independent caregiving to interdependent caregiving by engaging the spiritual and emotional aspects of caring for a loved one. Whether you are a daughter or son, a husband or wife, a sibling, long-term partner or good friend, Caresharing offers a multilayered, reciprocal process that will help you keep your spiritGÇòand your loved ones spiritGÇòalive in challenging times.
