#caregiving — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto/117250298769417299

Read the quoted toot below 👇🏻 and start to come to terms with the fact you, too, will become disabled at some point in time. If only, it will happen faster than you can ever imagine, accelerating the pace day in day out.

Oooh, and in case you're wondering, switch disabled for immigrant and apply the same. We're all bound to become disabled immigrants at some point.

It's a good time now to start learning some #empathy & #caregiving for others for when *you* may need help & support yourself.

How can you keep your small business running when you have personal issues, like being a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's dementia? Maintain a basic presence, don't disappear, and hang tough:

Also in this #ChangingPopulations, we focus on caring, working and ageing, and ask whether Britain is prepared as we face a “perfect storm”, with people expected to work longer, fund their own future care, and provide informal unpaid care, all at once - page 4

#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.

I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.

Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

We are coming to the end of National Family #Caregivers Month. I am posting this photo in honor of my mother, Tzip, who gave everything she had to my father, Jerry, as he was dying from early-onset #Alzheimer's. It was the 80s-90s &I don't recall #caregiving as something anyone was thinking about. Many thanks to #RosalynnCarter's foundation & #SethRogen &#LaurenMillerRogen's #HFC (& many more). They are heroes. How I wish my mother & our family had access to these support networks.

Threads of Memory, Threads of Grace

Where nothing is done, yet nothing is undone.

Pause. Everything has been on pause, a hiatus to focus on more pressing matters at the present moment. I’m tired and rundown, but at the same time, I’m filled with energy to move forward, propelled by an unknown force to continue even in the most stressful moments.

If someone had told me what this year would bring, I wouldn’t have envisioned this would be how I’d handle things. It’s been a wild ride watching each moment unfold in my exhaustion. My patience may wane, yet there is a compassion behind the cloud of frustration, for this is life – a deeply mysterious and path-filled with suffering and craving.

I watch the veil of memory become clouded, in disarray, fleeting moments of fantasical, entangled thought dispelled by the light of the past as I guide awareness back to now through memory. I watch the partner’s frustration, fear, and anger arise, unable to cope with the reality of the moment.

My memories are also not precise. They often cloud the moment with judgment, diluting the magic of newness and casting shadows on my experiences, shaped by nostalgia, regret, or longing.

Yet love is unconditional and boundless, swaddling the loss, the hurt, the fear, and the pain, allowing a glimpse of the truth. The bigger picture, the heart of the matter, this entire journey, this life we live in, material trappings fettered away. In our most challenging moments, we discover our strength, understand hope, fully appreciate unconditional love, and know that this journey is rife with meaning.

There are moments when there is no longer separation between the doer and the deed, the actor and the act; it is all one. It is a miraculous dance of souls asleep to the true nature of being bound by karma, awakening slowly one by one, understanding the true nature of being in the meaning behind each moment. Moksha.

“Nothing is done, yet nothing remains undone.”

~Lao Tzu

I let go of the fleeting wisps of memory and touch the sacred, now unfurling with raw emotion, learning not to push away but to feel deeply the nuance, the realness, and the beauty of this life.

Author’s Note
Born from personal experiences with memory loss, aging, and the emotional terrain of familial strain, this reflection explores how we hold space—for others and ourselves—when love is complicated and care is not always gentle.

This Wednesday, May 21 from 11 to 12 PT, I'll be leading the monthly #HFC caregiver group on #grief. It's called "Keeping Each Other Company." If you are a #caregiver for someone with #dementia, or if you aren't but feel the grief of losing someone about whom you care, please join. Here is the google doc to sign up and get matched with the caregiver group that best fits what you need. It may be the one I lead, it may not. Either way, it may help.💜

#3GoodThings (getting harder with each passing day)

1. Official 36th anniversary with my husband but we met in #Berkeley, 1982.

2. Did a grief support group for #HFC. Although my computer crashed and when it came back to life I had no video, I think it went well. Laughter. Tears. As the title of the grief group says, "Keeping Each Other Company: #Caregiving and #Grief." We did that.

3. Finished grading student papers and submitted grades. Some truly spectacular essays on #EdgarAllanPoe.
