Caregiver Beach - tribute to our loved ones
Caregivers are called the "silent patients" because we are so busy looking after those that we love that we don't take care of ourselves. Whether it is a terminal diagnosis, or a loved one with a form of Dementia, we will look at aspects of the journey. In addition, I welcome you to write to me at Caregiverbeach@gmail.com and tell me the story of your loved one! Let me share who the person was that you knew before a disease took over. I will email you back when it will air so you can hear your own tribute to your loved one! The beach brings a moment of tranquility and hope and that is what this podcast strives to provide.
