The Nature of Caregiving:
Photographs and Words to Inspire Self-Care

By Rebecca Hauder, R.N., M.Ed.

The Nature of Caregiving will inspire, educate, support and honor caregivers of all kinds. It is designed for easy reading in small windows of time--because caregivers are busy people! Each of the 40 brief chapters can be read in just minutes, but the thought-provoking, artful photographs and famous quotes, along with the author's practical self-care tips, will have staying power for the entire day.

While skilled at giving to others, caregivers often ignore their own physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, predisposing them to a variety of health-related problems, caregiver fatigue, and burnout. As the poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, once said, "No person can sincerely try to help another without helping themselves." As a mental health counselor and former hospice nurse, the author knows all too well the truth in Emerson's words.

Purchase this book for yourself. Give it as a gift to a friend. Or use The Nature of Caregiving in caregiving team meetings to encourage conversation among staff. You won't be disappointed!
