What sustains you when you encounter waves of pain, loss and grief? Caregivers and patients alike know that hospitals are places where breathing is often labored and rest is elusive. The distance between wellness and brokenness is razor thin and sharp. For patients and their families, an illness is a scalpel splitting the veil between what has been and what might be. During such times, thoughts and emotions do not ask permission; they come unbidden, stirring a yearning for insight into meaning and purpose, and a desire that there be more to life than another blood draw, another tasteless intravenous “meal”, or another choice between a snake and a serpent. At such times how do you cope? How do you manage the grinding shackles of grief? A Bamboo Grove for the Soul addresses these issues. This book is both storybook and handbook. Every portion is part of a tapestry that comes from life. All vignettes are drawn from real situations, but details have been altered to protect confidentiality. The book presents a picture of people stretched and framed by life's circumstances. Spread out or wrapped up tightly, the fabric breathes. In and out, every thread dances in community whether colorful, tight, loose, somber or happy. With its focus on self-care, this book helps keep the passion in caregiving.
