I don't think you need it. You are wonderful and full of compassion.
But you never know it might have tips in there.
Like the nurses and doctors said I couldn't give my mom what she wanted right before she died.
I listened to my mother who was dying and give her wish against doctors orders. I drove her to see my grandparents, her parents and we the rest of the family came over that weekend and had a big cookout.
Two or three weeks before she died she kept talking about how she wanted to have one more cookout with everyone.
Two days later she passed away.
All I cared about is making her last days on earth happy as I could make it.
Sometimes you have make decisions by the heart and not so much by the book

@HumanEarth This book is more about taking care of yourself while you take care of others. It can get overwhelming.

Its hard not to become attach to someone you are caring for. I seen so many become cold hearted and distant from their patients out of fear of becoming emotionally attached to them.
My mom and uncle both had people come in that took care of them when I had to work. Many were great, but there were a few that were cold and kinda mean after I left.

@HumanEarth My problem is that I get very attached to my people. To the point where I had one of my people tell me I'm digging myself a hole because I'm getting too involved with another client because his family will neglect him even more than they do already and he's going to become MY responsibility. But my thing is - he's already MY responsibility, that's my job.

@HumanEarth I know I HATE client, but that's what my new job refers to them as. I call them my peoples. And I do love them!!
