Companioning You! A Soulful Guide to Caring for Yourself While You Care for the Dying and the Bereaved

Companioning You! A Soulful Guide to Caring for Yourself While You Care for the Dying and the BereavedBased on Dr. Wolfelt's unique and highly regarded philosophy of "companioning" versus treating mourners, this self care guide for professional and lay grief caregivers emphasizes the importance of taking good care of oneself as a precursor to taking good care of others. Bereavement care is draining work, and remaining empathetic to the painful struggles of mourners, death, and dying, day in and day out, makes caregivers highly susceptible to burnout.
