Sacred Caregiving

Rich with spiritual insight, Sacred Caregiving lightens the load of caring for loved ones with end-of-life illnesses. It takes the "happy mask" off emotional, physical, and financial stress. Negative feelings won't shut up until caregivers listen to the call for self-compassion. Changes in thinking empower life-transforming service to others.Are you ready? - Experience caregiving as Sacred Service.

- Recognize hidden causes of "bad" feelings.

- Shift from critical to nurturing self-talk.

- Call on Spirit as new challenges arise.

- Revitalize yourself after your loved one's death. Sacred Caregiving synthesizes extensive studies of human behavior and New Thought. Teachers including Abraham (Esther and Jerry Hicks); Marianne Williamson; Wayne Dyer; Louise Hay; Eckhart Tolle; and Ernest Holmes inspired this work. Catherine Klinger writes from the trenches. She shares lessons learned from sixteen years of caring for family members living with cancer, Alzheimer's, strokes, and chronic heart disease. When her husband's falls immobilized his legs and hands, the author relinquished her role as a leadership professor to take care of him. Catherine found books telling her "how to" provide care, but couldn't find relief for grief, fear, and anger that plagued her. This book emerged from a search for answers.
