Caregiver Questions 4) Knowing another
If you have any free time in the next day or two send me your stories as answers to any of these 4 questions already posted on this blog. I want to be productive at jury duty this week. Thanks for your stories and your love. I already have a pile of responses....email me at sotmary@gmail.com
How well do you know your loved one? Could you do this for someone you didn't know so well? What about nurses and aides, do you think it is better for them when they know more about their patients? How so?
How does knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your loved one allow you to do a better job? Describe how this might play out.
Give an example of how you know your loved one intuitively without words? How are they different from you?
How have you brought your strengths and weaknesses into your Caring? What are you good at? What has been hard for you?

Time sensitive request. Keep hope alive!
Please go to this website: Westchester Alliance
Your company or program will be Hudson Valley Hospital Foundation for
the survey. The rest of the information is your own.
Have a quick look around and then fill in the 2 minute survey that is
first on the list about the Westchester Alliance. The first 100 people
from a program that fill in the survey get a matching grant. Again our
program is collecting funding for Hudson Valley Hospital Foundation.
We want to keep our Social Worker, Paula,for the Kids Care 2 Program

Let me know that you did the survey by sending me an email sotmary@gmail.com so I
know how many more people we need. And sorry if you get more than one
notice from me.
Lots of love,
Christine

Caregiver Questions #3) Devotion
Do you ever feel that you are holding yourself back or ambivalent about your role as a Caregiver?
Would you describe your personality as flexible or driven? Give an example.
How do you feel about not knowing where all this will take you? Are you committed to the long haul even though you don't know what your future holds?
Do you feel sometimes that the stress you are experiencing demonstrates to others that you are committed to this Caring?
For all my writer friends feel free to submit your stories via email or comments below. For all you talkers, I can interview you as soon as you see 3 or 4 areas that inspire your Caregiving stories. There are 33 areas to choose from for my new book.

Caregiver Questions #2) Separate and together
Have you ever felt that you were losing yourself inside your Caregiving relationship? Why did this happen do you think? Are you able to maintain separate identities?
What do you learn about yourself by attending to your loved one's need to grow and have respect?
Are you able to adjust when things need to change?
I would like all of you Caregivers out there to pick 3 or 4 of the 33 topics that you can relate to and tell us a story about your Caregiving experience. I'm writing a second book and would love to include your wisdom, humor, joy and even your upset, so that other Caregivers can learn from us. You can either post it in comments below or email me at sotmary@gmail.com. I will also be looking to do more extensive interviews either over the phone or in person, so contact me if you are interested in sharing in that too.

Caregiver Questions #1) What is Caring?
I'll be sending out 33 topics, like this one, over the next few months with related questions. I would like all of you Caregivers out there to pick 3 or 4 topics that you can relate to and tell us a story about your Caregiving experience. I'm writing a second book and would love to include your wisdom, humor, joy and even your upset, so that other Caregivers can learn from us.

1) What is Caring?
How do you handle issues of control or who has more power in your Caregiver role?
How do you nurture your loved one's growth? Do they seem to trust you? Who sets the agenda? How do you encourage them to care for themselves? How do you help them to get excited about life? What happens when things get routine?

No wonder they are confused! Sham acupuncture doesn't exist!
This NY Times article shows how hard it is to study an ancient healing modality with modern testing protocols. We all want to know why acupuncture works. Time to think "outside the box" when comes to doing these studies.
