Legacy and Celebration ~ Fearless Journaling Through Aging, Illness Or Dying by Ellen Valentine PDF Summary

Book Description: Legacy and Celebration is a guide to capturing the human story and conscious caregiving. This first book in a series is a reminder that we are all warriors on the journey we call life, and that journaling (for self and others) is a tool for fearlessness and self-discovery along the path. Legacy and Celebration Fearless Journaling through Aging, Illness or Dying and Guide to Conscious Caregiving and its companion Life Journal were born of my love for personal story, and a sincere feeling that each person has a need and desire to be heard. The name was chosen to invoke happy feelings. In a great sense, you are on a mission: to capture story; and thereby have a keepsake and legacy to present to family members. You are on the mission of bringing happiness and a celebratory feeling into the home. Life is an amazing journey, and each person brings a spark to life that cannot be duplicated or replaced. This is something to talk about and celebrate. This two-volume set is support for you to capture life's moments on paper for posterity. If you are reading this book as a Kindle book, you may consider buying two lovely blank books to capture not only your patient's story, but your own as well.I also want to acknowledge the healing effect writing has on the human psyche; thus, this process is deliberate in its intention to support healing and ease for both the patient and the caregiver. My hope is that both books: Legacy the Caregiver's Guidebook and Legacy the Journal are a support for friends and family going through times of imminent loss and heartache; and, that both provide a guide for times of intimate and meaningful daily connection between caregivers and patients. As the author, I want you to know that I understand in some ways what you are experiencing. The process of illness and loss of life is so deeply personal for each person and every family, that it cannot be fully understood by another. I want to take this time to acknowledge that this is your journey and it is uniquely your own.The releasing and calming techniques are for the caregiver first, then, to share with the patient. It is not necessary for patients to participate. If the time presents itself to use breath or guided visualization, you, the caregiver will know and you'll have the tools to use as found in this book.In between the sections there are extra breathing techniques to center, calm or energize the writer and caregiver. There are also several encouraging and inspiring stories contributed by friends and colleagues. One or more of the stories may be exactly what you need to read to ignite courage and hope.The final chapters of the book are on the topic of death and closure. It seemed impossible to write a competent book about caregiving, grave illness, or aging of the oldest old without tackling one of life's most universal processes ~ death.Writing Legacy and Celebration was a four-year process. Over that time, chapter numbers were assigned to each small segment, removed and re-inserted. In the conclusion, with segments being small and tidy enough to read through quickly, this author opted to limit chapter assignment to segments in section three which correlate with Legacy Journal. That decision lent a more Gestalt feel to the book as a whole. With sections small enough to read in a single sitting, an overall picture is thus presented on topics like caregiving, death, journaling, or spiritual practices. The author hopes this assignment will add to the perceptual organization of topics.Inclusions of beliefs from other cultures and religions have purpose and meaning. Allow your curiosity and imagination to be stretched. If some ideas are new to you, let them tantalize the mind and give you cause for further research. Bring transformation to this time of caregiving that will open your world beyond what may feel like the confines of caregiving and uncertainty.
