ππ When life throws you lemons - do you make lemonade?ππ
Overtime, I truly believe life's experiences refine us into the people we are today. And we either become really good at making lemonade or we turn sour! I choose to make lemonade!
And now I want to help others do the same...metaphorically. Please read to the bottom so you know what action steps to take next... but first...
Some of you might remember from our talks in the Rosemont Cafe that I spent years as the primary caregiver for my Uncle Nick who lived in Kingwood since 1958. Yes, my family has been around for a while! He made very good use of the Hunterdon County medical system and hospice took care of both of us from his home at end of life (EOL).
The caregiver journey with my uncle and my aunt prior to him, opened my eyes and my heart in unexpected ways. At first I was a reluctant caregiver asking the universe all the questions! π
* Why me?
* Why the chronic illness?
* What about my life and aspirations?
* What am I supposed to do with these lemons?!
Eventually the questions shifted and transformed into: π€
* How can I survive this?
* How can I help them have a quality life at their end of life
* How do I manage all the tasks - legal, medical and all the others?
* How many different ways can I make and enjoy this lemonade?
TODAY the question is ...
How do I help others Survive and Thrive their personal caregiver journey and share my recipe for, yes- you got it, lemonade!?!ππ
I'm offering caregiver services in-person and/or on-line in our community using knowledge and experience I've accumulated along my personal journey.
π my life integrative coaching,
π EOL doula training and
