Comfort Cover Series reaches 50 songs

Posted by Jo Hindriks on June 12, 2023 at 6:48am in Hospice, Vigiling, and Caregiving

We are happy to announce that the comfort cover series of songs now has 50 titles available. 

Comfort Covers are an expanding series of beloved songs selected and adapted to provide bedside support to patients and their loved ones, when the presence of the human voice matters most. The female lead part gently blends with the mostly open guitar chords while the male harmony meanders between the mezzo-soprano and the bass line of the guitar, unifying all three ingredients into a soothing and welcoming sound. These arrangements have brought bedside solace and delight in the nursing home, the hospital, and as hospice songs. They are also suitable for use in memorial services.  The average skill level is easy to intermediate.

You can find a list of available titles here:

CAREGIVERS STORE

by Rashani Rea & Kathy Douglas

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.

Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur. 

Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.

“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.” 

— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)

“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.” 

— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully

“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.” 

— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care
