Each day and night, millions of adult caregivers journey tirelessly with their loved ones, neighbors, and even strangers who need someone to help them navigate very tough health and life challenges. These acts of love are blessings to those who are vulnerable, however they can also bring tremendous stresses and, especially, crises of faith to caregivers. Peace in the Storm for Caregivers is a faith-affirming, life-supporting devotional written from experience and sound, compassionate spiritual and theological perspective. Within these pages, the stressed and questioning caregiver will find encouragement in scripture, openings for spiritual growth in prayer and assurance of God's abiding love, joy, and peace, in and through it all! The book contains more than 100 meditations based on passages from the Old and New Testament and a prayer at the end of each reflection on the Bible passage. A special section called "After Caregiving" also addresses some of the feelings and issues that caregivers feel immediately after they are no longer caregiving for their loved one, whether due to death or other circumstances. Peace in the Storm for Caregivers is written from the author's experience, deep abiding Christian faith, and sound spiritual and theological education. It is, to date, the only devotional for caregivers that has been granted the Imprimatur , ecclesial approval that the book is free from any error in Catholic doctrine or moral teaching. "Wisdom, validation, sacred scripture, prayers and reflections, practical advice, encouragement, and even some smiles and levity - you will find all of these in Peace in the Storm for Caregivers . Maureen Pratt draws upon her experience as a former sole caregiver to her mother and father, as well as someone with a challenging chronic condition herself. Readers will recognize the caregiving scenarios that Maureen describes and feel as though she is a friend talking with them over a warm cup of coffee. This book will be a blessing to the millions of caregivers in the world today." -Matthew Estrade, Founder of CatholicAging and Author, The Peace with Dementia Rosary: Education, Intentions, Community Peace in the Storm for Caregivers is a spiritual road map for all who are caring for loved ones in pain. The prayers, psalms, proverbs, and meditations comfort and inspire caregivers amid their commitment to care for a loved one. In my role as the Director of Religious Education in my parish, I wholeheartedly endorse The Peace in the Storm for Caregivers and plan to incorporate it into our ministries. It was through a veil of tears that I read the After Caregiving chapter. Peace in the Storm for Caregivers brought clarity to my personal journey and eased the guilt of having not done enough as I cared for my mother. Knowing that it was natural to be exhausted, sad, relieved, and unsure after her passing made my reflection on that time one of prayerful peace. What a validation of my response to Our Lord and His calling! As someone who, like Maureen Pratt, experienced serious doubts while caring for my ill mother, I gratefully recommend this book for ALL caregivers and their families. Its insight and blessings provide spiritual comfort and solace for the journey. Melanie S. Gaumond, Director of Religious Education, St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church Maureen Pratt's Peace in the Storm for Caregivers is a wonderful must-read for all who find themselves as caregivers. It is easy to become lost in the quagmire of caregiving where we must quickly become proficient and efficient in navigating modern medicine, governmental bureaucracies, and taking care of our own families. What is often lost is taking care of oneself and one's faith in the process of caregiving for a loved one. In Peace in the Storm for Caregivers, Ms. Pratt offers meaningful advice and reflections for caregivers whose faith is in need of self-care. As a caregiver myself I found this book to be very inspirational and uplifting knowing we are never alone. Holly B.
