Vehicle accident. Pregnancy. Cancer. Age. Sports injury. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, healthy or sickly, sometimes life just grabs you, swings you around, and lets you fly. The next thing you know, you’re lying in a bed feeling completely helpless as others come into your house to bring you food, clean for you, and watch your kids. You know you should feel appreciation, but it’s not always your immediate reaction. You’re used to being the one who reaches out to help others, and this receiving end isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. At times you resent their intrusion in your life, and sometimes you just want to give back and not just accept help all the time. But when a “good day” means you have the energy and wherewithal to sit up with pillows for support, how in the world are you supposed to help others?
Don’t give up on yourself. You can still help others. And it will be a blessing for you as well as those around you.
This book is written based on the frustration I personally felt during my own seemingly endless months on bed rest. You see, I’m a bed rest expert. I guess you could say it all began when I was nine and was stuck in bed recovering from a bout of encephalitis.
Later in life, I had to leave college since I was sleeping twenty hours a day, weakened from Lyme disease. I got better, went back to school, and lived well for a few years before being knocked on my back again due to complications during three pregnancies, and as I recovered from several intense surgeries. The book is also written with input from my friend who suffered with terminal cancer and my beloved grandmother who suffered from severe osteoporosis but didn’t let it prevent her from reaching out to others.
Bed rest can take several different forms. There is complete bed rest in which a person can’t get out of bed at all and must rely on others to help them with everything. There is partial bed rest, in which a person can move around for short periods but is mostly bedridden. There is also the house-type of bed rest wherein a person is weakened and can’t leave a house, generally due to immune deficiency. This book offers suggestions of ways to help others according to these different definitions of bed rest.
Beyond the Bed Ways to Help Others When You are On Bed Rest edition by Christine Pollock Religion Spirituality eBooks
For me, I have been through this - having to go to bed and get needed bed rest after I was in a bad car accident. Since my shoulder had to heal, bed rest was the key to healing. Since that accident, I am much better, yet I still live in chronic shoulder pain so from time to time, I have to go to bed to rest. Because I love to help others, I was so so so happy when I found this book as it gave me so many suggestions of EASY and even FUN things that I can do while still in my bed getting bedrest to help others. Below, I will list some of the PROS of this book and then a couple of suggestions that I found that may be of help to you while you are in bed resting...BELOW IS JUST SOME OF THE MANY HELPFUL THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO IN BED THAT WILL SURELY BE OF GREAT HELP TO OTHERS AS SHOWN IN THIS BOOK"
+ Cards and Notes - This is easy to do and all you will require is a box of assorted cards and some stamps and a pen! By sending a card to others, you are helping them and feeling better that you are doing something worthwhile, even in bed.
+ Phone Calls - This is the easiest and quickest one I have found. When I am in bed and call others to check on them, I always feel better myself. This book has a wonderful section on this!
+ Twitter (TWEET) - Twitter is fun and easy way to keep up with what is going on OUT THERE. And if you have a laptop or tablet in bed, you can view tweets for fun or tweet questions, comments yourself!
+ Prayer - Praying for others is uplifting. This section is very helpful.
My suggestions to you:
+ Laptop or tablet. For me personally, I prefer my 10.1 tablet (in a stand) because I can hold it on my lap and it is lighter than my bulky and heavy 15.6 laptop.
+ Hand sewing - This is a great time to sew on that button you put off or hem a pair of pants, etc. This book has a great section on hand sewing (which I find so soothing and relaxing)!
Highly recommend this book!

This is really a super helpful book. Many of the suggestions for helping others while you or someone you know is bed-ridden are so unique--things I would never have thought of. It's written in a fun, easy-to-read style, too! I highly recommend it!
For those who feel strongly about helping others, being the one always needing the help can be discouraging. This book provides ideas for how someone who is bedridden can still reach out and make a positive difference in other lives. Written in a way that allows the reader to take in just a tiny bit at a time if necessary, it's sure to empower those who seek ways to serve others with more opportunities than they realized they have.
