A spiritual approach to care-giving
Ginny Luedeman, C.S.B. and Cate Vincent
In this lively chat, Ginny Luedeman and Cate Vincent talk about the joy of care-giving and ways that people who are looking after loved ones can keep their thoughts uplifted even when a situation seems tedious and dreary. They offer ways through which patients can resist resentment toward their caregivers, and also address the importance of the caregiver spending time on his/her own spiritual refreshment.
Other questions include how to maintain spiritual clarity when the one being cared for isn't a Christian Scientist and may even claim he/she doesn't believe in God. Dealing with pressures and concern from family members, the function of nursing facilities for Christian Scientists, and rejection of non-medical forms of treatment are among other subjects covered.
