Perhaps the most valuable information for caregivers was seen in a PIANO TUNING • REPAIRS • REBUILDING • KEYS RECOVERED • DAMPP CHASERS • REGULATING • BENCHES BRUCE PULSIFER 348.9223 MIT( HEI.1. • y caregivers video entitled, "The Grit and Grace of being a Caregiver" by Dr. James Miller. His seven principles for maintain- ing balance when you care for others are: • The healthiest way to care for another is to care for yourself. • By focusing on your feel- ings, you can focus beyond your feelings. • To he close, you must establish boundaries. • In accepting. the helpless- ness of your helping, you• become a better helper. • Caregiving is more than giving care. It is also -receiv- ing care. • As a caregiver, strength is in flexibility. • In the 'everydayness' of your Caregiving lies some- thing more - sacredness! Undoubtedly, at one time or another throughout our life- time, everyone is called upon to he a caregiver at home or at work. It can he the most emotionally and physically exhausting work -we do. It can he• the most fulfilling and rewarding work we do. It can be the most important work we do! The seminar ended with a guided meditation led by Holly. Attending the work- shop were clergy, pastoral care volunteers, nursing staff. activity directors•and family members of residents.
