CaregivingCafe

@LEAD_Coalition @tinybuddha Brilliant! That is exactly how Family Caregivers feel. Thank you for highlighting that.

For many who give care, there is no choice, no support, no respite. They survive, but cannot thrive. As a society, we owe them more than encouragement and gratitude. We owe them the resources to make practical decisions about how care is accomplished. (image: @tinybuddha)

YES! Caregiving Cafe is working with our local school district in Austin, TX, to identify students, teachers, staff & families who are caregiving for a Loved One. Our goal is to bring resources, education, fellowship, coping skills & wellness habits to add to their days.

“Imagine having a successful career and happy life then you become #chronicallyill, not able to work…to function or do the things you used to. All taken in the blink of an eye… You grieve every day for the person you once were.” buff.ly/49BSMuj #ChronicPain #NERVEmber

Sometimes, it's the little things a #caregiver can do for an #agingsenior that will make a world of difference: try active listening, sharing a hug, and/or holding a hand.
