Weapon of the day: grief begins the moment we are called to care for someone. It’s something we carry even when it’s quiet. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #grief #selfcare #mentalhealth

How to Run a Family #caregiving Meeting: Develop consensus, plan, and process. Sounds easy? It's not. #caregiver aarp.org/caregiving/lif…

Weapon of the day: We have a right to be wrong. We are allowed to make mistakes. It’s the most human way to learn something. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #dementia #itsok

Weapon of the day: I’m going to be joyous today. Let’s see where that gets me. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #joy #whynot #reframe #dementia #selfcare #mentalhealth #alternative

Weapon of the day: It doesn’t have to perfect. It doesn’t need more tinsel or glitter. It needs a smile, a pause, a sprinkle of gratitude for being with someone you love and feeling loved back. That’s what you put a bow on. #caregiverwarrior #holidayseason

Weapon of the day: we can walk slower and still get there. Put down the burden of having to arrive out of breath. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #takeiteasy #yougotthis

Weapon of the day: if we walk around grouchy we bring it out in others. Let’s check the grinch at the door. ‘Tis the season. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #grouchy #dementia #bekind #selfcare

Weapon of the day: do you. There is no right or wrong way to care for others and ourselves. When we rely on our unique, special skill sets succes is inevitable and looks different from anyone else’s. Which is the way it’s meant to be. #caregiverwarrior

Weapon of the day: read the room. Eveything and everyone changes daily. Don’t get trapped by over or under estimating those you care for. Meet them where they are right here, right now. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #hereandnow

Long-Term Family #Caregivers Face a Marathon, Not a Sprint: The marathon stereotype is still useful. As a #caregiver, do you learn the lay of the land? Do you grab a water bottle at each water station to replenish yourself? #caregiving aarp.org/caregiving/lif…

Weapon of the day: listen with your heart. Our loved ones are alway telling us what they need even without words. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #listen #dementia #PayAttention

Giving Thanks to Family #Caregivers During and After #Thanksgiving: Actions count for so much more than words during the holiday and the rest of the year #caregiving aarp.org/caregiving/bas…

Weapon of the day: wisdom. No one is wiser than a caregiver. The stuff you’ve had to conquer makes you a sage. Ask your heart anything and the answer is there. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #workingcaregiver #dementia #wisdom

Weapon of the day: decompress after managing a crisis. We are so ready to handle the crisis but once it’s over we forget the toll it’s taken. Take a moment to see and feel what you need to regroup and recharge. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #crisis
