    A Caregiving Comfort: Clear
    Jul 8 2024

    How do we clear our head during our caregiving days?

    A Caregiving Comfort: Watch
    Jul 1 2024
    It's what you wear and what you do.

    The watch you wear reminds you that you are late, that you must rush, that you'll always be behind.

    The watch you take means you watch for declines, for problems, for the next shoe to drop.

    How do you take a different watch?

    A Caregiving Comfort: Company
    Jun 10 2024
    You'd love some good company as you lead this company called The Caregiving Experience.

    Because you're in the lead, you feel alone at the head of the pack. No matter how much room you give so others can share the lead, they slow their pace to remain a follower. They see how hard it is to be at the front.

    It seems everyone has an opinion about what you do, how you do it, and when you do it. Their opinion really is a judgement. In their opinion, you're doing it all wrong.

    They're happy to tell you all about it. Let's turn around the tell.

  • A Caregiving Comfort: Pile

    A Caregiving Comfort: Pile
    May 6 2024
    It's all a pile: The laundry, the paperwork, the dishes.

    The excuses others make to get out of helping is also a pile of you-know-what. The way the systems work, especially the health care system and insurance companies, are another pile of you-know-what.

    It all piles on you. It's terrible to be under the pile. It's awful when you can't find a way up.

    How do you get up?
