Caregiving with attention to the caregiver

Roy Remer’s guide organizes caregiving around four elements: mindfulness, compassion, understanding loss, and self-care. Alongside practices for cultivating compassion and reducing burnout, it addresses grief and the practical work of preparing medical directives and end-of-life arrangements. The book links care for others with attention to one’s own needs, including brief, breath-based practices for making space for self-care. Its combination of emotional support, spiritual reflection, and practical guidance gives the subject both a personal and a logistical dimension.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Caregivers seeking emotional support alongside practical guidance.
  • Readers interested in mindfulness and compassion as part of caregiving.
  • People preparing to discuss medical directives or end-of-life arrangements.

Book overview

Practical advice, emotional support, and a path to spiritual solace

One in five American adults is now a caregiver. And many have found themselves unprepared for this difficult and emotionally taxing task. As a caregiver himself, and executive director of Zen Caregiving Project, Roy Remer was inspired to write Zen Caregiving to help support the emotional burden many caregivers experience and to augment this essential component of our healthcare system. This motivational, therapeutic, and practical book covers:

- the four components of the Zen Caregiving approach -- mindfulness, compassion, loss literacy, and self-care
- tools for expanding compassion, avoiding burnout, and finding comfort
- the value of grieving and processing loss
- advice for preparing medical directives and end-of-life arrangements
- how to create intimacy with oneself to prioritize self-care, one breath at a time
