With an emphasis on caregivers of the institutionalized elderly and the special services provided by clergy, chaplains, and pastoral counselors, Grief Education for Caregivers of the Elderly offers the caregiver or educator several model workshops focusing on grief, loss, and bereavement care. Grief Education for Caregivers of the Elderly contains proven methods and strategies that will sharpen and enhance your caregiving skills, including:
- focusing on the emotional responses and phases of dying, including denial, anger, and acceptance, to help patients deal with death
- considering physical and administrative atmosphere and your elderly population when setting goals and designing workshops to provide optimal patient/resident care
- discussing the themes of grief and loss, stress management, handling change, and promoting self-care for caregivers in workshops and through self-evaluations
- developing workshops that open with grief history surveys and attitude checklists, discuss normative development and issues of old age, and have themes based on the biological, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of the elderly person
- providing caregivers with an opportunity to practice what they have learned through case studies, simulated role play, open discussions, and care plan designing
- thinking about your own mortality and learning about your feelings and ideas of growing old
