It's Not about Us Ellie Caldwell

"As we become better in our roles as caregivers, we become people who can give care that enhances and truly nurtures. Becoming more aware of what it is like to receive care, we can prepare ourselves for some of the experiences that await us as we age, hopefully making that time easier for ourselves and those around us" (4). "This book should be in the hands of everyone working for hospice." Cheryl Demers, RN, Senior Manager of Clinical Services, AdventHealth Hospice East Florida."Ellie Caldwell reminds us that neither care giving nor care receiving is one-size-fits-all. This relationship, like all other human interactions, requires sensitivity to each other and ongoing adjustments to our behavior. Or, as the author puts it, knowing the complexity 'and showing up anyway.'"Martha Morris, daughter, former hospice counselor, and long-time Quaker.
