Am I a Family Member or a Family Caregiver?

Dannelle speaks with Dr. Macie Smith about why it can be so difficult to identify as a family caregiver.

“Emergencies don't happen conveniently. You're not able to run home and then find that manila folder that has the advanced directives and everything that you need. You need it right now. To be able to have that at their fingertips, and to know that it's there, and whoever may need it, they can get it, too. That, I think, provides the biggest peace of mind for both the families and the professionals”

Carl Hirschman

“I am saying harsh things to people that I love. I'm not showing up sometimes as the person that I wanna be. And I know it's coming from a place of hurt, but I also am like trying to say, “look, you caused harm and it's because you’re feeling harmed and/or in pain and/or hurt. Do what you can to rectify that, but also don't continue shaming yourself also. That's been like really important for me lately. Just like, giving myself as much grace as I can.”

Jacquelyn Revere

“When she moved her to a residential care home, now when she comes, she is spending time with her grandmother.

It's more emotional because all that stress and all those other things you have to worry about are gone.”
