The Carefullist’s Post

Oof- this example of being a #sandwichgeneration #caregiver. I remember it like it was yesterday and that’s why looking back is such a shock that this was so long ago. The subtle changes sneak up and smack you in the face.

One of the hardest things to do when you're a #caregiver is to know how to respond when someone asks how they can help. It seems like it should be easy, but we've been there, and it's not. You're so mired in the everyday details and schedules that it can be very difficult to pull yourself back to a bird's eye view. We've created this document as a conversation starter for anyone who wants to offer #caregiving help but isn't sure what to say, and for caregivers who are asked but can't think of what they need. We would love your feedback on what else should make the list! What have you done for someone, or has someone done for you, that lightened the situation? #caregiversupport #grief #longtermcare #eldercare #hospice #specialneeds #dementia #cancer #parkinsons #cardiovasculardisease #diabetes

This is our favorite depiction of #grief. It makes the feeling so much easier to explain to those who haven’t experienced it yet. It shows the weight, the exhaustion, the struggle to stand and put one foot in front of the other. We carry it every day, everywhere we go. #griefjourney #caregiver #griefsupport #caregiving #dementia #Cancer #hospice #caregiversupport #specialneeds #diagnosis #parkinsons #diabetes

🎶 PLAYLIST 🎶 Sometimes lifting your mood takes more than a cup of coffee or walk outside- especially when it's hot and humid. Neuroscientist Dr. Jacob Jolij found that the happiest tunes are slightly faster than your average song (between 140 and 150 beats per minute), written in a major key, and either about happy events or complete nonsense. These are the Top 10 he came up with. What would you add? Let's make a mood-boosting playlist! Since most caregivers are in a time crunch, here's a link to Spotify with these songs ready to go: https://lnkd.in/eB_ZMqD. #caregiving #caregivers #longtermcare #eldercare #caregiversupport #musictherapy #diagnosis #dementiasupport #dementia #parkinsons #cancer #ALS #multiplesclerosis #cancersupport #moodboost

It’s ok if yesterday wasn’t your day. This is a clean slate. Be kind to yourself.

February is National Cancer Prevention Month. It is crucial to raise public consciousness about the prevalence, prevention, and treatment of cancer. Cancer can have a devastating widespread impact, and it is likely that each of us knows someone who has been affected by this disease. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or colleague, the prevalence of cancer underscores the importance of supporting research, raising awareness, and providing care to those facing this challenging journey. #cancerawarenessmonth🎀 #cancer #cancerawareness #homecare #seniorcare #healthcare #caregiver #elderlycare #care #health #caregiving #homehealthcare #eldercare #dementia #seniorliving #elderly #caregivers #assistedliving #homecareharrogate #homecareselby #homecareyork #family #homecareservice #careathome #careathomeservices #harrogate #york #selby #northyorkshire

Care plays an essential role in the Cancer Journey. Whether it's self-loving care directed towards yourself or the selfless actions of a caregiver, we love to acknowledge the important role that acts of human tenderness play in reaching higher states of well-being. How do you show up with care? #NationalCancerPreventionMonth #CancerSupport #CancerCare #Caregivers #Wellness

A life-limiting #cancer diagnosis can be incomprehensible to a patient who has just started creating a family. As a #healthcareprofessional referring your patient for additional support to process all the parts of this devastating news can be so beneficial: ❓You may have had patients with a #terminaldiagnosis before, but each patient faces this anew and may not know what questions they need to ask. Mummy's Star can provide advocacy support , ensuring a patient is able to liase comfortably and effectively with their care team. 💙Sharing the news and having conversations about #death and #dying can be painful and difficult, especially when involving children. Fruitfly Collective can provide advice on speaking to children about cancer and Mummy's Star can support families in #memorymaking. 💻Practical issues, such as creating a #will, appointing a health power of attorney, forming an advanced statement, etc. can be overwhelming for a patient. Organisations that can help include @Compassion In Dying and Dying Matters UK Hospice UK 🕯️Patients may be eager to lay out their wishes for after their death, or they may find it difficult to discuss. Organisations that can help them include St Cuthbert's Hospice 'Eveything In Place' programme and 'The Little Book of Life Admin' by @Spacemasks 📽️Find video sessions with some of these amazing organisations on our website and YouTube channel. 👇Please SHARE and TAG other amazing organisations providing end of life support in the comments. #endoflife #cancerandpregnancy #incurablecancer #NHS #CNS #cancersupport #oncology
