How did you become the caregiver for your loved one?
Izzy Parrado
Mom was diagnosed with dementia. Started missing steps daily.
Has your relationship changed with the loved one that you are caring for? If so how?
Yes. I’m the adult in charge now. Hard to do.
What is the hardest thing about being a caregiver and the most rewarding thing?
The blessing is spending time, totally and in charge of her well being. The hardest and challenging: lack of self care and freedom to come and go.
What advice would you give to other caregivers?
Find trusted help for simply getaways to mall, library or mini getaway!
In ten words or less, what has caregiving taught you?
People offer advice. No one offers help!
Describe a situation where being a Fearless Caregiver helped you succeed?
Advocacy for mom’s needs -medically and legally!
