From the Introduction
It is hard to sustain our compassion in day-to-day activities. We can lose perspective, feel overwhelmed, isolated, disheartened and get exhausted. It is easy to neglect our own needs, and to forget the fact that compassion and care must begin with us.
This small book is part of the Caring for Others, Caring for Ourselves Series. It offers you practical and key contemplative tools and resources. Whether you are caring for a loved one or friend who is facing hardships and loss, who is ill or dying, this series will help you be there – fully, wisely and wholeheartedly. At Authentic Presence, we have shared these tools and resources for almost three decades with thousands of caregivers around the world.
Our wish for you and those you care for: be inspired, feel supported and be a force of good throughout this extraordinary, joyful, challenging and painful journey called life. It is a journey we all share.
