Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn’t think possible~Tia Walker
Both Deborah Beauvais and Janine Sullivan have journeyed through caregiving, Deborah with her 94 yr. old Mother-in-Law recently placed in a nursing home and Janine with her Mom who transitioned to the other side in 2010
Come join us as we answer questions of each other with the intent to help others as they travel this emotional, challenging path.
A sample of questions:
- What do you do or could you do to recharge energy levels while caring for a loved one?
- What could be done to improve over all care for the elderly?
- How do we honor and respect a lifetime of stories, possessions, etc as their bodies and estate transition from what was to something different.
- The fact is the many agencies that can suddenly be involved in elder care are not streamline. Each agency has an agenda specific to their goals.
- The caretaker can often be overwhelmed, as they become the person to streamline agencies. What can be done change this? What can be done to stay strong and focus, healthy and calm while dealing with, insurance, banks, attorney, nurses, doctors.
