I plan to write more books on the caregiving experience and have found many people have related in some way to these first experiences in my book (my caregiver training wheels as I call them). :-) I commend for you taking care of your aunt. It's not easy to take care of someone long distance and then dealing with care facilities. I actually think it may be more difficult because instead of giving care and love to your family member, you are using a lot of energy fighting for good care. You did a great thing for your Aunt, Judy.Trish Hughes Kreishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995070221130924508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821611713908924761.post-36916688883143289792011-10-26T20:50:33.607-07:002011-10-26T20:50:33.607-07:00Trish, So glad I stumbled on this post--don't ...Trish, So glad I stumbled on this post--don't know if I'll be able to listen tomorrow, but I'll be thinking of you. Even more important, I need to order your book! I got distracted earlier when you first announced it, but now I'm putting it onto the "immediate read" list. As I've shared, I did some caregiving for an elderly aunt, and although she didn't live with us, I had experiences with moving her across the country, finding a suitable place for her to live (which took a few attempts), interacting with care providers, and visiting her regularly as her only family. It gives me such a different understanding of people who take on even larger caregiving roles, as you have done.<br /><br />Congratulations on being selected Book of the Month!<br /><br />Judy Stone-Goldman<br />The Reflective Writer<br />http://www.thereflectivewriter.com<br />Personal-Professional Balance Through WritingJudy, The Reflective Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155041904319269319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821611713908924761.post-49449785559111053262011-10-25T16:49:44.498-07:002011-10-25T16:49:44.498-07:00Thank you, Heidi!
