Video clips

Posted by Joyce Marie Sheldon on November 10, 2011 at 6:41am

I have added three video clips from my presentation before the Tennessee Hospice Organization a few years ago.  They will give you a taste of the moving and inspiration presentation based on my first book, From Fear to Faith, A Caregiver's Journey (available via my website).  It is a tribute, also, to hospice and home care staff and volunteers who so beautifully came into our lives with love, support and encouragement.

I end the session (not on the video) with the song, Because You Loved Me, because it was their faith in me as a caregiver, tired and torn, which lifted me up and kept me going.

Enjoy!

I would be pleased to speak with you regarding bringing a retreat, workshop or conference to your agency.  Although my experience is related to hospice and home care, the sessions are individually inspiring in a very personal way.

 

Blessings,

Joy

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
