Caregiving support or advice

25


25 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Jun 28, 2021

Care giving for strangers can be taxing emotionally, physically, psychologically & spiritually. and more so for loved ones.

It is also bewildering & frustrating to navigate the crazy world of healthcare, doctors & other legalities in the current era.

Do you know when you've hit a limit with your exhaustion or a boundary when someone tries to guilt you into something when you are already beyond your capacity?

I have a couple decades experience caregiving housemates, family members & strangers. I've also volunteered & counseled many of my friends & relatives when they were struggling with caregiving. There are some local & internet resources but one of the more useful things is your own capacity to stay in balance.

I can help you stay in balance & refer you to additional resources for help & info.

See the tone is his review versus mine? His message: “sorry again, I need more than a couple hours notice if you want to schedule tomorrow or after.... i 'm no longer available this afternoon. this have been overly comp,licated but we should be able to make it work. thanks marty” I followed directions and I did send my resume. After his message, I went to check and my resume was uploaded but didnt send and he never said anything until his review so kinda catty. So based on his review, he seems mean hearted- do not recommend.show more

He has a online calendar that said he was available but cancelled 3 times on me 😢. Never got to meet up with him. I have a tight schedule so when I s...chedule a time and he cancels it’s a huge inconvenience to me. But it’s okay! Hopefully it works out for someone else. I will keep looking for the well needed support. show more
