ISBN: 9798278561118 - the heart of care: finding humanity in caregiving (4 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Heart of Care: Finding Humanity in Caregiving is a deeply reflective and compassionate exploration of caregiving as one of the most profound expressions of human dignity and love. Written by George Alberto Gonzalez, PhD, the book moves beyond technical instructions to examine caregiving as a moral, emotional, psychological, and spiritual journey-one that transforms both the caregiver and the person receiving care.Grounded in lived experience and pastoral insight, the book presents caregiving not as a burden to be managed, but as a calling that reveals what it truly means to be human. It carefully guides readers through the realities of aging, decline, and dependency, emphasizing that elders are not defined by their conditions, limitations, or diagnoses, but by their identities, histories, relationships, and inherent worth. Throughout the text, Gonzalez insists on a central principle: caregivers must learn to see the person, not the problem.The book addresses the full spectrum of caregiving needs-physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual-while also giving sustained attention to the often-overlooked experiences of caregivers themselves. Topics such as burnout, guilt, resentment, boundary-setting, identity loss, grief, and life after caregiving are treated with honesty and empathy. By naming these hidden struggles, the book offers validation and guidance to caregivers who often suffer in silence.The Heart of Care also expands the conversation beyond the home, calling families, faith communities, institutions, workplaces, and policymakers to recognize caregiving as a shared social responsibility rather than a private sacrifice. It challenges modern cultures that prioritize productivity and independence, reminding readers that vulnerability is not a failure of humanity but one of its defining features.Ultimately, this book is a companion for caregivers, families, professionals, and all who seek to understand aging and care with depth and compassion. It affirms that caregiving, though demanding, is a sacred journey-one that preserves dignity, builds meaning, and leaves a lasting legacy of love. This item is printed on demand.
