Day 18- on finding your "calm amidst the chaos" 🧘🏽♀️of Family Caregiving
When there is the possibility of a real and present physical danger to you and your family, more and more people are building a "panic😱 room"- a safe, secure separate area inside your home, accessible only to the family members and the authorities who can be called for help.
With this concept in mind- what is the "safe space"🧘🏽♀️ for a Family Caregiver?
A place in your home or out in the garden, garage, patio,.. where you can go for a 5 or 10 (or longer) respite, lock the door and just have a time-out; when for example, there has been a disagreement, or your loved one lashes out at you because of the ravages of dementia on their minds, or because they are feeling angry and upset because of their illness, and you feel hurt , upset and overwhelmed; a place where you can get away to "reset".🛌🏽🥵😮💨😮💨
✳️The place where you can go to breathe, slow down, pray, cry, scream, and call a friend for emotional support and reassurance.🙏🏽😢📲📞✳️
Caregiving is the "long-game" and finding the spot where you can just "pit-stop" for a refresher is crucial to your mental health.
Challenge: think of a safe space where you can just step away for the few minutes you need to calm your mind and heart. You CAN do this! You must! 😮💨🛌🏽🙏🏽🧘🏽♀️
From my heart to yours always💗
