520    Caregiving can be enormously challenging, terrifically 
       rewarding, and potentially draining. Caregivers often 
       wonder how they will navigate the tumultuous waters of 
       caregiving and not lose themselves completely. The Mindful
       Caregiver highlights two major approaches to help 
       transform the journey: adopting a practice of mindfulness,
       which helps caregivers become more self-aware and fully 
       present with the person with whom they are caring, and 
       honoring "the spirit-side" of caregiving which offers new 
       ways of connecting to one another. These approaches take 
       into account not just the needs of the care recipient, but
       also the needs of the caregiver and other people in his/
       her life. Remembering to care for oneself when someone 
       else is in great need can be difficult, but with the 
       suggestions and tips in this book, any caregiver can 
       cultivate routines and practices that benefit everyone. 
       Solutions that caregivers can use in their day to day 
       routines are provided, so caregivers who use them can feel
       more empowered and hopeful. Using real stories throughout,
       Nancy Kriseman offers self-care exercises and addresses a 
       wide variety of subjects such as setting realistic 
       expectations, making the best possible decisions, 
       advocating effectively, and evaluating available resources
       and services. The Mindful Caregiver provides inspiration, 
       encouragement, and guidance for finding ease in the 
       caregiving journey.
