When you open up about the struggles of caregiving and someone responds with, "Well, it could be worse," it can sting a little extra, right? It’s like they’ve just thrown a bucket of cold water on your heartfelt moment. This totally sucks because it dismisses the real pain and the effort you’re making to connect.

Let’s face it, caregiving is a tough gig. When you’re overwhelmed it’s completely normal to want support. If you’re on the other side, ready to support a caregiver, remember this: when they express their feelings, they need you to acknowledge their pain. It really doesn’t have to be complicated!

So, if you hear something like, "Oh man, it’s happening again! I can’t take this anymore!" try responding with something like, "I get it. You’re working so hard, and it’s exhausting. Of course you feel that way." That simple acknowledgment can mean the world.

Once the moment passes, you can both breathe a little easier and find ways to support each other better.

Wishing you and your loved ones all the best on this journey!

To find peace as a caregiver and to improve quality of life for your loved one you try to cover all your bases.

But sometimes you wind up with so much input you can't hear the signal through all the noise.

There are so many assistive devices, ergonomic aids, artificial intelligence enabled blahblahblah... it's everywhere. Too many inputs make so much noise we can't hear the signal.

Work with me and we'll figure out first what the pertinent risk factors are and then we'll set up an alert system to address them.

Less noise, more signal makes us effective. This is how we find peace. Reach out to me today.

Caregivers, are you dealing with a loved one who was not prepared? If you are then getting organized sooner than later will save you all a lot of suffering.

The stress of dealing with your loved one's daily living is enough, to have to deal with sorting their personal, financial, and medical needs and having no guide to do so can be truly overwhelming.

A lot of caregivers give up, and I don't blame any of them. It's so, so hard, and if we are not prepared it's harder than it needs to be.

So get ready, now or as soon as you can. This is a not comprehensive list of financial information that you can put together right away. It's a guide for someone to take care of you, and it's a way to organize your loved one's information so you can take care of them.

Get this together, get lawyered up, and get some peace. Look to our last post for the list of personal information you can put together, and look to our next post for a list of medical information.

Just do it! We are here to help!

As a caregiver you may need to do this for your loved one, and you should do this for yourself as well...

Everybody should have a living will and a will, advanced directives in place, and someone to speak for us if we can't. Anyone with any assets should have a trust or other legal plan for their assets. It will save you peace of mind right now and it will save major nuisance for your loved ones, later.

Think three broad categories of information: personal, financial, and health.

Here is a list of things you will need for your personal information, get this together now!

Your lawyer or other estate planner will help you and keep you safe. Just do it so you can have peace by being prepared.

I'll post another list of financial and health information soon, this is to help you move in the right direction, just do it!

A coworker asked me the other day about how to prepare for what may happen to us when we are our patients' age.

I wasn't exactly prepared for a useful answer I could give in a short statement.

So I made this.

I am happy to go into a bit more on each step, and I'll do that soon.
If you're interested, please let me know in the comments, thanks!
