Let's face it, we caregivers are going to make a lot of mistakes in our journey. I still hold the title for "Crash-test dummy of Caregivers," and I'll bet I've forgotten more mistakes than most will make. (I still remember plenty to CRINGE over, however!)
Facing those mistakes, owning them, apologizing for them, and making amends (when possible), remains an important part of living as a healthy caregiver.
John and I discussed this in today's episode ...and we also talked about our pet peeves of "fake apologies" often on display by public figures.

They may not know, however, the sacrifice his family made for this great nation. Listen to his story.

The pain, challenges, and heartache for caregivers often doesn't end at a funeral. In this clip from our show, John and I discussed a callers recent admission of feeling guilty over an end of life issue for his father ...twenty years after the event.

Our long-time friend, Elizabeth Moss, called the show to share insights on caring for an aging loved one during the pandemic. The founder of Nashville TN’s premiere in home care company, Elizabeth brings a valuable background in Nursing, Alcohol and Drug treatment, and Geriatrics. Elizabeth dedicates her life to on-going training, education and experience for the well-being of others.
She has been a devoted and professional caregiver since 1994 in the areas of Assessment Training, Activities Therapy, Certified Nursing Technician, Licensed Practical Nurse of Geriatrics and Integrative Health Practices such as Reflexology, Aromatherapy, and other modes of therapeutic care.
During a particularly difficult stretch for us (when we lived in Nashville), Elizabeth and her team cared for Gracie.
Even if you are not in the Middle TN area, Elizabeth has ample resources on her company's website to help with the challenges of caring for an aging loved one ...particularly during the pandemic. As you select a service, PLEASE compare them to Elizabeth's company ...who I believe sets the high standard.

We all live with terrible regrets over things we've said or done ...even if at the time we felt we had the best of intentions. This caller expressed his sorrow over things he said ...however well meaning ...to his mother as she mourned the loss of his father. He felt he was helping, but looking back ..he realized he should have handled it differently.
We spend some time talking about that, and how we as caregivers can better sort through our inventory of mistakes.
Peter Rosenberger hosts the nationally syndicated program: HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER.

"Must, Should, Need, Have To ..."
These are all words that reflect that a caregiver's fallen into the obligation trap. Obligation is the gateway to resentment, and all too many caregivers find themselves struggling with deep resentment towards themselves, their loved ones, family members who didn't help, medical personnel, employers, and even God.
From our radio broadcast on June 27, we discussed this issue and how we as caregivers avoid "The Obligation Trap." This episode is part of our series on the FOG ( Fear -Obligation-Guilt) of Caregivers.
