Navigating Caregiving Polarities: Discoveries from a family caregiver
I’ve been a caregiver for my wife for the past 4 years. She has Atypical Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. It’s been a topsy-turvy journey, and I’ve learned a lot about myself, caregiving, and PD/LBD. To say that there have been tensions to navigate would be an extreme understatement.
In this session, I want to share 7 lessons I’ve learned in my journey in the hope that they might help you in your sustainability caregiving. Not only caring outwardly but also caring inwardly. I’ve found that striving for this balance of tension is crucial for my mental, social, and physical health, but incredibly challenging to achieve. Let’s explore that balance together.
