Listen to Me Speak — Lessons From a Family Caregiver

Written by on October 10, 2008 - 11 Comments
Categories: My Caregiving Journey, Odds & Ends

You are invited to listen and participate in a free teleseminar on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 11:00 am (Pacific), 2:00 pm (Eastern) and 8:00 pm (Europe). I will be interviewed by Theresa Swift of Swift Resolve Coaching as part of her “Colors of Change” series.

Topic: Lessons From a Family Caregiver

During the one hour interview I will share my unique caregiving journey along with ten important lessons I’ve learned as a family caregiver for my aging parents. My goal is to help you become a more confident family caregiver.

Theresa and I will be discussing various aspects of caregiving such as:

  • Becoming aware and preparing for this stage of life
  • Adapting to the role reversals a family experiences
  • Communicating with our Golden Oldies
  • Coping strategies for caregivers

If you have any questions, jot them down before or during the class and ask them during the “Q & A” portion of the hour. I will answer as many as we have time for.

I hope you will take this opportunity to get to know me better “in person” through this teleseminar. At the very least you will hear my New York accent! Yes, even though I moved away from New York many years ago, people say they still hear the New Yorker in me when I say certain words. :-)

And I want to get to know you through the questions you ask!

Please join me for what will surely be an interesting, educational and fun hour!

    I’ll try to make it… but no promises – 11am is a little tricky for me.

    I have it on my calendar. I’ll also let a few of my friends know, as they deal with a lot of the same issues. Love, DI

    Dear Vered — No worries. We all juggle so many things these days!

    Dear Davina — Thanks for the good wishes! I’ll have to think about whether to write about the experience itself. Hmmmmmm

    Dear Marilyn — Thanks for being there for me — as always! Hope you can make it, and aren’t washing your hair or rearranging your sock drawer at that time! ***smiles***

    Dear Allison — Ditto back to you, my friend! You (and other friends) have been an inspiration to me as we’ve gone through the ups & downs of life together. Sometimes life sucks, but it’s better than the alternative!

    Dear Diana — Thanks for spreading the word to others and for your constant love & support!

    To Everyone: Can’t wait until Tuesday!

    This is a very meaningful thing to do. A number of my friends are primary caregivers. They evolve through life-experience to realize that they have reason to build on their skills and their understanding of human behaviour more generally.

    Hi Linda,
    It is my first time here and you are doing a good job. Caring for our aging relatives is a real issue for most of us and your blog shares some really useful insights. I would have loved to attend the teleseminar but am a bit tied up.

    Congrats on your upcoming teleseminar, Linda!

    I won’t be able to make it, but I’m sure it will be fantastic; you’ve certainly found a niche that suits you and your life experience to a “T”, and it shows :-)

    Hugs,
    Barb
