A word of advice...Take care of your Self before you take care of others.
Of course, that's the ideal approach. Unfortunately, I'm reminded all too frequently that we don't live in an ideal world. Still, small efforts go a long way. My gift to you today is Pajama Yoga, a video produced by writer/editor and yoga enthusiast, Jean O'Sullivan.
It only takes a few minutes in the morning to limber up and be ready to take on the day. Check out the link to her fabuous YouTube video which is listed under PAJAMA YOGA in My Favorite Links.

Welcome Caregivers!
(To skip to this week's post, scroll down...)
Special needs situations, like those we find in a home healthcare setting, demand special responses.
The fact that you’ve registered to participate in this blog is a sign that you are in a special needs situation. You are probably under a tremendous amount of stress and strain – both physically and emotionally – and you probably feel very alone right now.
Take heart…you are not alone.
For what it’s worth, the National Family Caregivers Association (visit their website at www.thefamilycaregiver.org/about/) estimates that there are approximately 54 million people in the nation currently caring for someone in need.It’s not an easy road, and that’s why I’ve created HomeBoundResources.com.
Let's not reinvent the wheel. Together, as a community, we are the experts in collecting and sharing the most important resources, information, and help for people who are challenged by a home healthcare situation.I really do care about how caregivers and patients achieve the highest standard of living possible. To that end, I recently introduced contributing writers as part of Tammy's Think Tank Team. Everybody benefits by a little help from their friends! Look for interesting articles on Fitness, Relationship Dynamics, Mobility, Overcoming Challenges. If you have an issue that needs addressed, let us know. You'd be surprised by the creative solutions people use!
I understand that every situation is different, and good advice in one situation may not be so appropriate in another. So, please let us know what’s working and what’s not. Visit http://www.homeboundresources.com/, and explore the tips, resources and publications available.
And, if you’ve got some advice of your own on a topic that I’ve written about, please feel free to e-mail your feedback to me. This effort works best when we all help each other.
From My Heart to Yours,
Tammy

I have been through the grieveing process twice in the last 5 years.
ReplyDeleteThe first time, was my husband... I was scared, as I was left with a 16 year old boy with no father, and no means of support. I had been an at home Mom for 16 years.I had to get out and make a living for the 2 of us...
Go to a Support Group...no... not for me...I was wrong...I should have gone.. Now 5 years later, my dad passes away. My family has been under extreme stress, and not communicating. My Mom is seriously considering a Grief Support Group, and I will be finding one for myself too... I only could hope My siblings go also... We are not alone here...
We need to support each other...
