Managing the End to Bridge the Beginning

Feb. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- No matter what your knowledge base, caring for a parent with a terminal condition is a loving, courageous, yet chaotic journey. Participating in end of life decisions and providing either direct or long distance care while balancing work, care for the family and the self can be overwhelming.
Managing the End…to Bridge the Beginning is a caregiver’s guide based on the author’s own family experience with caring for her mother during the last year of her life and her father’s rapid decline after a 10 year battle with his own chronic condition.
Weaving a soulful and heartfelt story and offering over 90 practical tips and words of encouragement, Lisa draws from her personal caregiving and professional experiences to support the caregiver in experiencing life’s natural journey of the dying process, grieving and rejoining life as what she joyfully calls “a leave-behind.”
Subjects addressed in the book include:  
•   Practicing “TCOY”
•   Managing difficult conversations
•   Proactively managing work responsibilities
•   Practical tips for managing estate mattes
•   Tips for family and friends of caregivers

Through sharing her story, Lisa hopes to bring encouragement to caregivers, guidance for a peaceful end, comfort during grief, and strength for a new beginning.
