Hear Ye, Hear Ye  

The May/June issue of Today’s Caregiver magazine will cover one of the most important issues we face as family caregivers – hearing loss and the reluctance to admit that hearing loss exists when we are faced with it.  Don’t look so smug. I am talking about us as much as I am talking about those for whom we care.  It is really befuddling since we easily accept glasses and contact lenses and will use mobility equipment when necessary...read more

Young Cancer Spouses by Sandra Ray, Staff Writer
Young and cancer are two words we don’t often piece together, unless we’re watching fundraisers for hospitals for children with cancer.  Yet, there are more and more people becoming afflicted with various types of cancer who are recently married, or have started the road to raising a family...read more

A Trip to the Dentist By Micki LaVres
For 18 years I tried – unsuccessfully – to get Frank to the dentist for a cleaning. He felt that cleaning his teeth was a paltry undertaking when you considered the significance of his bigger problem, being paralyzed from the chest down...read more

Dealing with Caregiver Guilt
By Malika Brown, MSW, LSW Caregivers often carry around undeserved guilt, believing that  they aren’t doing enough for their loved ones. This guilt can make the caregiving role even more stressful than it already is. One might ask why a caregiver feels guilty when they’re doing such a courageous job. Here are some reasons...read more Share your tip, advice, resource or observation.
Sharing Wisdom
From Sher in CA My mother has Alzheimer's disease and is currently mobile. We purchased two security alarm door mats that we put next to her bed. We have covered them with small rugs so she is not aware of them. The alarm monitor is placed in my bedroom. At night, if she gets out of bed, the alarm alerts me and I am able to go to her room to assist her with her needs. This allows me to reduce the potential fall risk and gives me the peace of mind to have a restful sleep. From Stephanie in GA I have found some encouraging scriptures that have helped me when I was so tired, all I wanted to do was scream. Reading the Bible gives me the courage, power and strength to have patience. The scriptures that I keep close and near to my heart are 1 CORINTHIANS 13:7, 8. They talk about love and endurance. Stay strong. The best ideas and solutions for taking care of  your  loved one often come from other caregivers. Please post your ideas and insights and we will share them with your fellow caregivers.
