New book covers topics from legal matters and preparing the home and includes worksheets to help keep track of everything from medications to changing the bedding
WLMINGTON, N.C., July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hoping to share an important resource for anyone going through a similar situation, author and certified End-of-Life Doula and dementia practitioner Lili Udell Fiore shares the lessons learned and wisdom gained from her journey as a caregiver during the final stages of life.
In "Lili's Caregiver Guide," Fiore provides advice on how to hire caregivers, creating healthy boundaries, utilizing her sensory care method, advocating on the patient's behalf, end-of-life care, and dozens of tracking forms for personal and medical care.
Fiore includes insight on grief and how to live again, once the journey as a caregiver has ended, utilizing knowledge she gained from her father, who was an Episcopal Priest and head of Pastoral Care at her local hospital and an early teacher of dying and death in the 1970s.
"Whether it's staying more organized, creating a structure of record-keeping with your patient's crucial information, or even traveling with someone who is chronically ill, my book provides the solutions and systems you need," said Fiore, "including how to create the best possible environment for your loved one."
While in her 40's, Fiore found herself in a difficult situation. While juggling her career, marriage, and family, she received a call that her beloved aunt, who lived many states away, was not well. Faced with managing her aunt's care from a distance, she relied on wisdom from professionals, friends, and family members to do her best. Eventually, she found her way, and then was also faced with caring for her aging parents. She learned many lessons along her journey and hopes to share them with everyone in a similar situation.
"I don't want anyone to feel alone in their journey as a caregiver. I hope my systems and methods help to make things a bit easier and improve the quality of life for you and your loved ones."
