Keeping it Together, How to Cope as a Family Caregiver
Keeping It Together was written specifically for individuals caring for aging parents, ailing and chronically ill family members, introducing you to a new language and new perspective for coping NOT with the "symptoms" but rather the reactions to circumstances of adversity and situational loss that family caregivers face.
Situational Loss is the loss of a person, thing or quality resulting from alteration of a life situation involving changes related to illness, body image, environment and death. - Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th Ed. (2009)
Acknowledge, Assess, Assist are the action words of Silverberg's 3-A coping framework highlighted throughout the book used to help you navigate, self-monitor with self-awareness for self-care to address the adversity and situational losses involved with caregiving.
