Self-Care for Caregivers

I was constantly adjusting my life and world as a Caregiver Warrior, and often couldn’t find the information I needed. My blog is a place where I share my personal caregiving experiences, survival strategies I developed, and lessons learned in the trenches. I truly hope this might provide you with some guidance and relief during your caregiving journey.
When I lost both of my parents, I too was lost. Adjusting to this heartbreaking change took time.
I learned so much about myself and my Mom after she was diagnosed with Dementia.
Most of us have been hurt or injured by those we care for. Forgiveness is the path to unloading our pain, resentment, and anger.
Dementia taught me not to assume and not to beat myself up when I got it wrong.
I tried to do it all myself and ended up exhausted and burnt out. Finally, I learned how to ask for help! Here’s how I did it!
By keeping it an inside job, we can avoid letting the opinions of others get us down.
How to let go of control and my expectations were just a few of the things Dementia taught me.
My parents hid their illnesses from us for quite some time. Now I’m beginning to understand why and that they had every right to do so.
Needing to be right all the time takes a toll. Why not be happy instead?
