Product Description
Product Description
Carers are of any age from all walks of life. They don't choose to become carers, it just happens. As a result many experience fears, anxieties, guilt, loneliness. The aim of my pocketsize book is to pass on positive thoughts to encourage carers to cope with negative emotions.
From the Author
Dear Carers, Welcome to my world of caring. I have written this book based on my experiences over the past twenty years as a full time carer. I have struggled through all the negative emotions described in the following pages. It wasn't until I found that by using the power of auto-suggestion, I could shift into positive thinking mode. It improved my life and the lives of the two people I care for far beyond our expectations. You could say we experienced a miracle! I'm sure you will find positive thoughts between the pages of this little book that will work a miracle for you. After all, we do have a choice between negative and positive thinking. Positive thinking opens the door to miracles! Brenda Munitich

Is the book easy to read for busy carers? Yes, I found I could dip into it at any time of the day and be uplifted by the inspiring thoughts that could work for everyone as well as carers.

There's an old saying and a song: 'You can't judge a book by looking at the cover'. Well, in this case you can. The title, along with the cover photograph of a young hand over an old hand, really tells you all you need to know.
The book comprises pieces centred around thoughts like 'Acceptance', 'Dealing with Exhaustion' and 'Reflections'. A short extract from each of these is highlighted. In the case of the first, for example, the extract reads 'Resisting the changes in your circumstances is like swimming against the tide. Go with the flow and you will travel further.'
Most of it, therefore, is good common-sense and wise, homespun philosophy. Except that I do happen to know that every word of this book has been hard won through the author's own lifetime experiences. She is a full-time carer and a dedicated one. All this she has achieved despite coping with health problems of her own and the difficulties brought by advancing years. Throughout, she has maintained her interest in many other things. Brenda Munitich is just about the most positive person I know.
Fortunately, my own experience as a carer has been strictly limited. I hope it remains so. But, if my personal circumstances change, I shall know where to turn for advice and inspiration.

I think this book should be for all people, not just carers. It is full of useful hints and tips on how to cope with the everyday trial and tribulations faced by carers who look after someone with an illness, disability or addiction. In the current difficult economic climate, these positive thoughts can benefit everyone.
