Hello everyone ..... when people ask me what it is I love about my job , I say it's about making new friends , extending my family , making memories and making the person I care for feel important, still part of the world & loved.
They may have alzheimer's, dementia, be elderly, but inside they are still that person, they are still them. We get a connection and it grows from there.
The stories of their childhood, their families, the day they got married, when they had children, the family holidays , I love listening to it all.
There eyes light up, they smile from ear to ear. But when they lose their husband or wife , been married for over 50/60 years or more , it's so hard. But we can get out the photos, we share the memories, listen to a favourite song, visit a favourite place.
Over the years I have lost a few lovely client's, but still stay intouch with family members.
But sometimes it's hard because they are like an extended family.
Today I had some sad news , she was a lady I had huge respect for, who I had from the start of my business. She had a smile that lit up a room, the stories from bygone days, also about her children, her loving husband ,will stay with me forever.
Not putting down names, but my heart is with you all, also another lovely lady passed a few weeks ago from my primary school days 💔 Just wanted to share this poem ..... Thinking of you all ###x
