Introduction:

Being a caregiver is stressful work and is often accompanied by feelings of sadness, resentment, anger, frustration, self-doubt and grief. It's important to learn ways to manage these feelings so that we don't put our health at risk.

Hospice volunteers Sandi Kimmel and Patrick Murphy created this powerful self-care book from their own experiences and from feedback gathered from caregivers around the country. Whether you're a mom or dad with toddlers at home, a healthcare professional in a busy hosipital, a loving family member helping another get through an illness, or a volunteer giving time and support to a healthcare facility, Heart Wide Open is written for you.

These techniques will lead you on the path to self-care and gently guide you back into balance. Put them to work for you. In time, you ay feel anger melt into understanding, resentment give way to gratitude, or hope shine in the midst of despair. Choose one technique a day for 21 days and enjoy the results. Or those techniques that call to you. Your innermost self will thank you.

After all, if we don't care of ourselves, how can we take care of anyone else?
