Revision of author's thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Queensland, 2014 under title: Developing a model of pastoral care for persons on the dementia journey.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-216) and index.
Grounding care : sustaining persons in context -- Grounding pastoral care : spirituality and meaning -- Caregiving : a lived experience -- Caregivers' journeys : themes and meanings -- Grieving losses : "the long goodbye" -- Local pastoral practice, perspectives, and meanings -- Theological foundations for care -- A pastoral approach -- Moving forward.
"Spiritual caregiving and Christian pastoral caregiving are uniquely placed to offer both sustaining relationship and grief support to both caregivers and persons with dementia. This pastoral approach emerges from cultural scholarship, rigorous on-the-ground research, and theological reflection on God's purposes in responding to persons in and beyond the Christian community. Christian communities are called to be places of agape love, compassion, and hospitality. We, individually and corporately, are called to care: to love, honor, value, comfort, and sustain one another--and "one another" includes those who travel the road of forgetting and those who travel with them. This fresh pastoral approach offers theologically and culturally informed, practical ways of sustaining persons in the midst of their losses, throughout the dementia journey"--Page 4 of cover.
