The holistic approach and practical tools empower the caregiver to reflect, grow and experience the beautiful rewards of the sacred work of caregiving. Ms. Whiteside has shown that caregiving is an opportunity to enrich one's life that can be a mutually beneficial experience for both the person receiving care and the person providing care. This book truly "cares for the caregiver." It feels like a warm hug of support reaching out from the pages to the caregiver. It provides insight, understanding and invaluable tools that empower the caregiver, allowing them to take control over a situation that may have them feeling as if they are spinning out of control. "The Caregiver's Compass" guides a person on the journey of caregiving so that the journey itself becomes a gift to be treasured and a true growth experience for the caregiver. Ms. Whiteside and her book will touch many lives for the better."-Susan M. Berta RN, LNHA, Eden Educator, Culture Change Guide "A reflective, compassionate guide through the heart-rending challenges of providing care to a loved one. Ms. Whiteside's extremely thorough, well-structured approach to caregiving is both practical and thoughtful. I wish I had it available to me twenty-five years ago.
