The Sudden Caregiver: A Roadmap For Resilient Caregiving - Karen Warner Schueler

\n \nAre you a sudden caregiver? When an unforeseen medical crisis robs someone you love of their health and wellbeing, do you feel caught off guard and ill-prepared for your caregiving role? \n \nPlenty of research confirms what you may already know: caregiving is depleting, worrying, and exhausting, often leading to physical and emotional burnout, fear, and illness.\n \nYet a growing body of evidence tells us that while caregiving is depleting, it can also be a source of strength, well-being, and purpose.\n \nCaregiving may be inevitable, but caregiver distress is not. \n \nWritten by a family caregiver for family caregivers, The Sudden Caregiver: A Roadmap for Resilient Caregiving, will help you to: \n \n- Take control of the practical tasks and available resources your circumstances require. \n- Minimize unpleasant surprises and maximize well-being for you and the person in your care. \n- Leverage resilience builders to protect yourself against stress and replenish your spirit. \n\n \nBeautifully written and empirically sound. I can see that it will help many caregivers of all types. I look forward to sharing it with my caregiver networks. \n- Dr. Judith Moskowitz, PhD, MPH, Professor, Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University - Feinberg School of Medicine and President of the International Positive Psychology Association \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n \n \nAbout the Author \n \nKaren Warner Schueler became a sudden caregiver when her late husband was diagnosed out of the blue with stage IV cancer.
