Just the kind of support you wish the neurologist’s office included.
Caregiving for people with Parkinson's can feel like doing battle for the disappearing heart and soul of your loved one.
I'm Terri.
I support caregivers of people with Parkinson's. But what I've got for you is different.
Here, I will pay attention to what PD caregiving does to YOUR life.
I've been in your shoes—I was a caregiver for my dearly loved husband, and I know all too well the thoughts that cross your mind, wondering, "What happened to MY life?"
After my Husband with Parkinson's (HWP) passed away I realized that my journey with Parkinson's wasn't over. So, I sat down at my desk and penned the book Love, Dignity, and Parkinson's. Though, considering how PD can affect our lives, I might have titled it "Well, Crap."
My book and my lifeline letters are all about sharing insights and reflections on living the caregiving life, and I assure you, I won't bring any perky notions that this is a highly fulfilling experience. It's NOT the "hardest job you'll ever love," and I won't claim " you have only been given burdens you can bear."
Caregiving is hard. Don't face it alone. Together, we can make your caregiving journey a little more interesting and a little easier.
