CALLING ALL CAREGIVERS TO THE DYING AND THE BEREAVED!

• Do you generally feel fatigued and lacking in energy? • Are you getting irritable, impatient, and angry with people around you (home and/or work)? • Do you feel cynical and detached from the people you companion? • Do you suffer from more than your share of physical complaints, such as headaches, stomachaches, backaches, and long-lasting colds? • Do you generally feel depressed or notice sudden fluctuations in your moods? • Do you feel busy yet sense that you aren’t accomplishing much?

• Do you have difficulty concentrating or remembering? • Do you think you have to be the one to help all those people who are dying or experiencing grief?

• Do you feel less of a sense of satisfaction about your helping efforts than you have in the past? • Do you feel that you have nothing left to give? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, or if you know that you need to take better care of yourself but need help getting started, this book is for you. Written by one of the world’s most respected grief counselors and death educators, Companioning You! affirms the natural challenges of your work while inspiring you to be your own best companion.
