Reflection on a life of nearly fifty years, as a caregiver in multiple healthcare and leadership roles, gives me pause to seek to find a voice and be heard. There are many reasons why one would want to write a book, and as a caregiver, something within me aches to share the insights and wisdom that I hold as a sacred treasure. My experience with compassion fatigue and my recovery urges me to reach out to all who care selflessly for others. I want to say that the scars or interior wounds that you experience as caregivers are invitations to rediscover your Soul. You are not alone. You are not going mad when your soul aches because you have cared.

Feeling alone, overwhelmed, and not being heard? The Soul of Caregiving can be your companion, a book that takes on a life of its own, and listens to your story. There is a magic about the book that gently guides you to a deeper understanding of your call to caregiving. Feel safe, secure, and not alone as you find yourself lost in the narrative and stories that are like a mirror that allows you to discover anew your own experiences.
