Summary

The word "caregiver" typically suggests someone doing all the giving for a frail, physically challenged, or aging person, who is doing all the receiving. Marty Richards proposes a rebalanced approach of "caresharing." From this perspective, the "cared for" and the "carer" share a deep sense of connection. Each has strengths and resources. Each can teach the other. Each can share in grief, hope, wisdom, and forgiveness.The book's focus is to help caregivers realize that they are not alone in their journey. Richards broadens the scope of the give-and-take relationship to include multigenerational families and faith communities, looking at the strengths each has to offer in the caregiving network. In order to keep the spirit alive-whether in short-term or long-term care-Richards offers a mulitlayered, reciprocal process:The Dance of Sharing CareSharing Wisdom: What the Frail Teach the WellSharing Roles: Reinventing Family Roles in Sharing CareSharing "Soul to Soul": A Special Relationship with People with Dementia Sharing Grief: Dealing with the Little Losses and the Big OnesSharing Forgiveness: A Key Spiritual JourneySharing Hope and Heart: An Active Process One Step at a Time
