Plan of Action: How to Save Your Own Life by Salena McKelvey Pdf
Salena McKelvey became the full time caregiver to her parents unexpectedly in 2014. On a Monday her Dad suffered his second stroke and four days later her Mom was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. At 31, she had no peers that were caregivers, support groups were not helpful and she was facing the physical, emotional and mental challenges of caregiving alone. She has since started a blog to be an inspiration to other caregivers. In this Caregiver Journal she shares the questions she answered to increase her peace and happiness during the worst season of her life. Are you a caregiver?Are you a caregiver that feels alone? Are you a caregiver with little to no support? Are you a caregiver to someone suffering from dementia or alzheimer's? Are you a caregiver to someone who has had a stroke? Are you a caregiver that feels guilty about self care? Are you a caregiver that needs help changing your mindset towards caregiving and life? If so this journal written by a caregiver for caregivers is for you!
Being a caregiver is one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet. It takes compassion, dedication and love to become a carer, but it can be a stressful job too. Being a carer has made me a stronger person and I want to give back to others in the same role. By creating this journal, I hope to offer you support. What you are doing, caring for another human being, is incredible. You have no idea the difference you are making, and though at times it can feel like a thankless task, know that you are making a difference.
Caregiving is complex. It demands us to be patient, strong, persistent, fearless and gentle. We are called on to be advocates, listeners, errand-runners and negotiators. At the same time we deal with our own feelings of guilt, failure, disappointment and fear. All while trying to take care of ourselves so we can care for others. And yet in the midst of pain, fear and sorrow, the opportunity to be a caregiver is truly a gift. The time we spend with our loved ones is precious. There is an awareness of love that is amazingly profound. We experience an extraordinary deepening of faith. My intention is that this journal is a companion as you spend time waiting, worrying and wondering about your loved one. I hope you will use it to record the fleeting joys and profound struggles of caregiving. Please know that you are blessed beyond measure for your gracious giving.
You are a caregiver. You work tirelessly every day, but there is one thing that's pretty much guaranteed that You are probably NOT doing.... TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF! Watering the Soul is a 91-day journal focused on mindful, purposeful writing prompts and activities for a caregiver like you. Research shows that many caregivers are at risk of developing depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart disease, and even post-traumatic stress. Often caregivers get lost- caught up in the mix of endless doctor's appointments, physical exhaustion, intense pressure and guilt for the myriad of emotions that build up. Even the history of receiving bad news, frequent hospital visits, or the lack of socialization with other people- the isolation that sometimes comes along with caregiving can just be overwhelmingly too much. This journal contains 129 pages of writing prompts and activities based off of my own experiences as a caregiver and my profession as a mental health therapist. It is not another thing to add to your 'to-do list'. Watering the Soul includes weekly focus words. 6 days of the week are filled with daily writing prompts centered on recording your thoughts, hopes, and dreams, as well as your thoughts on filling the role of caregiver. On every 7th day, there is an actionable step such as guided meditation, guided imagery, and focused relaxation techniques. This journal is here to help fatigued caregivers refocus, recharge, and discover how to start living truly refreshed again.
