Thank you! What wonderful work you do. I have had wonderful experiences with Patient Advocates during my caregiving journey and they saved my life! My sister and I truly realize how blessed we are. I hear from so many others that are not as lucky. It’s so hard when the support and respect isn’t there for the whole family. Everyone suffers. I pray families can reconcile and find each other. It’s my hope that the love they have for those they care for can bring them together. Thanks so much for your feedback. I’m honored to have you here and thank you again for your work and all you do!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.caregiverwarrior.com/a-thank-you-to-my-sister/#comment-975">Ann Peachman Stewart</a>.</p> <p>Thank you!

I worked as an Advocate in a care setting. I was the one who welcomed new residents, helped families get them settled and worked through the family dynamics through the time they lived there. Families almost always loved their parent who lived with us, but they didn't always get along, and that made it difficult for all. When families worked together and supported each other, the quality of life for the elder was so improved! Congratulations to you both.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a blessing to have that kind of support and relationship with your sister. I worked as an Advocate in a care setting.

I have 5 siblings and we're all spread apart and living pur own lives. However, my brother in Iowa helps me by providing comic relief and distraction from caregiving by letting me talk to my nephews and niece. My youngest brother lives in the same state as I do but is a caregiver for his own father. His plate is just as full as mine but our bond is strengthened because we are on the same journey. Sometimes being helped by relatives doesn't have to be monetary or hands on sometimes you just need an ear to listen.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are blessed to bave a sister to help in this situation.

My sister did the opposite. I was undergoing cancer treatment when my mom was dying. I didn’t want my mom to know I had cancer because my younger brother died of cancer approx 2 years earlier and my parents were devastated. My brother died, my dad and now my mom was dying. I was dying inside but I put up a hard fight. I got my mom into Hospice for the last month of her life. I was undergoing cancer treatment, working to support myself and treatment costs......and was at Hospice every night and at times during the day/evening when I wasn’t working. I also had mom’s dog...another responsibility. The dog was sick and I ensured he was well taken care of including his medical bills. He didn’t want to leave my side...his eyes were always on me. My sister was the only family member I told about my journey, surgery, chemo and radiation. I figured if everyone knew my mom would find out. I told my sister because the hospital required that someone accompany me for my first treatment. I didn’t want to burden my mom with something she could do nothing about. I went for the majority of my treatments alone. My personal hairdresser cut my hair at her in home salon and styled my wigs before I lost my hair. I became a master of disguise. Friends at times would say I looked sick...but I just said I was tired....I fought the fight!!! My sister starting arriving later and later to relieve me from being with mom at Hospice. When I spoke with her she tried to get the rest of my brothers against me saying that I didn’t want to help our mother. My oncologist wanted me to tell my family and couldn’t believe I was working throughout my treatment. My sister threatened to take mom’s dog to the Humane Society. My moms dog was with me for the journey... he was the ‘Hospice’ Dog. My sister not only showed lack of compassion or caring...she also told relatives some story...I still don’t know what, but I was told by a relative ‘I can’t believe what you did to my aunt?’ I asked what I did and I was told ‘ I don’t want to get involved’. I know My mom appreciated everything I did. She died holding my hand and said, ‘I’m sorry. I love you’. That was her gift to me for the sacrifices she knew nothing about. I cry as I type this because I don’t understand how any person or thing could treat anyone the way my sister did. After mom’s death I told my brothers about my cancer diagnosis and treatment. None of us desire to have any contact with my sister.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are truly blessed to have had a sister by your side!! </p> <p>My sister did the opposite.
