This book is divided into three parts: -End-of-life issues to consider-How children cope with death-A Life Review workbook The book will help you plan for your own end-of-life care, prepare your children for your death, and record memories of your life.The book includes a Bibliography and a list of "Places to Turn To for Help".Your most important role as a parent is raising your child. All along, you are attempting to impart into them your values, as well as teach them the skills that they will need to be successful as they grow into adulthood. No parent expects to leave a child to journey through life without his or her direct guidance. As that day approaches, and you begin to accept that you will not have the time that you thought you would, the pressure mounts to prepare your child for the future.The process of looking back over your life and thinking about what has mattered most to you is a natural part of facing death. There is a formal discipline called "Life Review" in which people are encouraged to discuss and write down aspects of their past. This Life Review workbook is specifically designed for use by parents of children and teenagers. It includes questions to help you consider issues relating to your children, as well as more general questions that will trigger memories about other parts of your life. This Life Review process can be used by anyone who is interested in thinking about their own past, even if they do not have children.You can use the workbook on your own or with someone else. It's a nice activity for two people to do together using a conversational approach. An adult child could use the conversational method with an elderly parent. It can be an enjoyable way to reminisce about the past and capture memories. This type of conversational approach can be helpful as a tool to use with older people who are having memory problems.The workbook can be used in hospice settings by hospice volunteers to use with patients who want to reflect on their lives. If someone is too sick to take on a major writing project, the volunteer can ask questions from the workbook to help the person recall anything that they want to have remembered. A volunteer could also work with family members to explain life review ideas and introduce the workbook as something they can use on their own.Any parent who wants to record family history can also use this book. Perhaps you have a high-risk profession in an area such as law enforcement, firefighting, or serve in the military and are concerned about the future. Who hasn't thought, "What if?"

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. As time goes on, the signs of aging become difficult to ignore. Forgetfulness, lack of energy, failing eyesight, hearing loss, and mobility issues are all normal signs of aging. At what point should you intervene? This book will help you to connect with your aging parent in a meaningful way while collecting family memories. Together, you will build upon your current relationship, and get to know your parent on a more personal level in the process. It is realistic to think about learning all you can about your parent in the time that you have left together. If you are in the midst of caring for your elderly parent, this book will be helpful to you. You will gain a deeper understanding of issues your parent may be dealing with. You will identify those people who will be most helpful to you and your parent; as well as be prepared to make certain decisions on your parent's behalf should this become necessary. You will learn how to introduce difficult topics such as end-of-life issues and have conversations regarding decision-making. This is necessary to broach not only with your parent, but also with other members of your family that will be involved. Issues that affect caregiving for a parent include understanding the reversal of roles, family dynamics, proximity to your parent, and resources for help in your area. This book is divided into six sections: Section 1, "An Overview of Caregiving", will introduce you to terms that are often used in the eldercare industry. Medicare and Medicaid will be discussed, as well as navigating the costs of care for your parent. Places that may be of assistance in finding your parent the appropriate care for your specific situation will also be introduced. Section 2, "Issues You May Be Facing", will assist you in evaluating your own needs to avoid burnout. In addition to discussing how to meet your needs as a caregiver, we will cover your past and present relationship with your parent; examine your role in caregiving; discuss sibling issues; living arrangements; and your proximity to your parent's home. You will also conduct a resource assessment to determine who may be helpful in assisting you with the many aspects of caregiving. The definition of an entourage is "A retinue of attendants, associates, or followers". Put simply, whom can you call upon for different needs? Who is in your entourage? Section 3, "Issues Your Parent May Be Facing", covers fear of dependency, physical limitations, health problems, coping with the deaths of friends and other family members, and fear of mental decline, as well as ways that you can help your parent cope. Section 4, "Grief in Adults and In Children", covers both bereavement after a death and anticipatory grief. Anticipatory grief is what you may be feeling as your parent declines in physical and mental health. If your parent is losing his mental faculties, loved ones may be grieving for the lost relationship. Anticipatory grief is a reaction to expected loss. Others who know your parent may also be grieving, including siblings and grandchildren. Section 5, "Documenting Important Decisions", discusses several difficult topics that you may need to address with your parent. There are decisions to be made in many areas. You must think through legal and medical decisions, as well as financial considerations. At some point, you may need to discuss end-of-life care and funeral arrangements. As difficult as the whole process may be, it is essential to begin now. Section 6, "Meaningful Conversations", is a workbook of activities and ideas to help you to make the best of your remaining time and your relationship with your parent.
