This past week I got an e-mail from a
listener. She thanked us for putting radio show on the air and had a
couple of questions for me. First of all I want to thank anyone who
calls or e-mails or somehow contacts us with questions or concerns or
even just to tell us the story. You are the reason we produce the
show as well as the TV show is helping people like you. Thank you.
The main theme of her e-mail was simply
this; she was in her 60s and her mother was in her 90s. She has been
taking care of her mother for several years and is starting to have
concerns about her own health. This e-mail struck home for me because
this was the whole reason for producing the show, when my mother died
from caregiver burnout. She had been taking care of my dad for the
previous four years and we were completely unaware of what caregiver
burnout even was if it even existed, or what signs to look for. I
spent the next several months researching and found that many people
are in this position and are just completely unaware of it.
What I was able to do for this woman
was director to companies that can help her. This included some home
modification. Some home care some home health care, even a couple of
mobile providers, including opticians, dental and podiatry. She was
happy, first of all that someone listened, and secondly, that
not only did we listen but we had some solutions for her and her
particular situation. I was also able to suggest some financial
solutions because neither she or her mother can work and they are
both on a fixed income.
There are solutions out there!
These solutions work and have worked
and will continue to work. We encourage anyone to just call us and
let us know what's going on for your. Tell us your story. There are
many solutions that we are aware of where we can help you. If we
don't have a solution, we can find one.
So call us 844-981-0099. Or e-mail me.
