When You're Ill or Incapacitated/When You're the Caregiver [Paperback]

James E Miller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1995

This double book is designed for two distinct audiences. "When You're Ill or Incapacitated" is written for those who are sick, injured, or have become disabled. Encouraging information and advice is presented in twelve short chapters. Chapter titles include: "You have the resources to do what you have been given to do." "You may find value in asking of this time, 'What am I being told?'" and "People who want to help could use a good helper: you." The second half of the book is for those who wish to serve as caregivers. Twelve related chapters offer equally encouraging ideas: "Treat the other as the equal he or she is," and "Give good care to yourself." Beautiful affirmations conclude each half.

When you're the caregiver - By James E. Miller

This book was split into two separate books. One side was for caregivers and the other was for the person who was sick or needing help. You flipped the book around when you finished reading one topic.

This book is very short. Each topic is broken down into great tips for people who are new to care giving or being the ill one. Clearly broken down into a point per 2 pages, this book gives you quick excellent tips on how to handle the journey ahead. With themes such as having compassion for yourself and voicing your feelings or needs, this book is a great starting point for carers and the sick as well.

In the 12 step programs like Al Anon, the first step is always admitting the problem. With this quick read in your bag of tricks you'll be well on your way to gaining some control and making a game plan on how to make your particular situation that much easier.

**I give this book a 5/5** It's a must have for families and those who are sick and trying to make a plan on how to get well and keep your sanity at the same time.
