Hi, I’m Greta and I have been a caregiver for 11 years now and it has been an emotional roller coaster. The first 8 years were extremely difficult but as I grew in my faith and compassion for my mother the last three years have been more manageable and even dare I say…enjoyable!
In this blog I want to share with you my experiences and provide a place for you to have a voice. Your own unique voice. There will be no judgement or criticism here. While the title will encourage you , as the caregiver, to “scream” I do not advocate for screaming at your loved one! The screaming that you need and must do can come in the form of an actual scream..somewhere in a closet or outside, or your scream can be going for a walk, watching TV, meditation etc. Whatever you need to do to let the current emotion you are feeling out so that you can continue to another day.
Let’s begin and take this journey together, you are not alone!
Caregiving.....Screaming is allowed!
