Your heart is in the right place. You’re doing everything you can to make your relative who lives with dementia feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. But you still feel like a failure! What could the problem be?
Even in the most intense times, you can connect to BE-ing. In fact, learning how to BE in the moment will help you cope with stress, perform at peak level, and maintain focus so you can respond to the person with whom you share care, rather than just react to the stressors and demands around you.
I wonder how you are doing in these strange times, how we might connect, and what I can do to support you in the age of social distancing.
When we care for others, whether professionally or as family, we may feel time passes very quickly just as we have a longing to slow down and savor it.
As Nature slows for the Winter Season, and many traditions celebrate mid-winter holidays and Holy days, we offer this virtual seminar as a safe space to pause in quiet contemplation with a small community of fellow travelers.
Passionate about person-directed, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches to care that maximize well-being for every member of the care partner team!
