2018-05-14
Facing the challenge of providing care to an aging parent
can be overwhelming. When that person has a difficult personality, the
situation often escalates to anger, resentment and guilt. But it doesn't have
to be that way.
Within the pages of The Blessings of Mrs Clare's Hair ($13.49,
paperback, 9781545633908; $6.99, e-book, 9781545633915), readers will have the
perspective from a caregiver's viewpoint on how to nurture ourselves and lean
totally on God.
“I believe many people are in caregiving situations which
are beyond stressful,” Kathy Raimondi, a registered nurse, says. “This book
offers readers a sense of companionship and hope.”
The cross of caregiving can be especially heavy when
caregivers are tasked with caring for someone who is not easy to love. Raimondi
shares her own story about the caregiving role that she and her husband have
assumed for a parent with a very difficult personality. She relates her own crisis
of faith and her evolving realization that dependency on God is the only answer
to fulfilling this task.
“As our elderly population
grows by leaps and bounds, many of us will find ourselves caring for parents or
other individuals,” the author states. “Foremost,
we need to understand how best to care for ourselves, and with that knowledge,
move forward in caring for others.”
A registered nurse with 20 years experience in hospice,
Kathy Raimondi has served for 12 years as director of nursing. She was awarded
a Cameo of Caring award in 2011.
