One True Love

April 11, 2016 by Amy White 2 Comments

This post was originally published as part of Be Love Month on Kathleen Nelson Troyer’s Gently Moving Forward site.  Sometimes our life lessons come easy, but most often they are difficult, messy and uncomfortable.

Caring for the Caregiver

November 15, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

Caring for the needs of a loved one is often incredibly rewarding. Knowing that the best care decisions are being made and that the paperwork, insurance claims and many other day-to-day needs of the loved one are being addressed, should help caregivers sleep better at night. But are they sleeping? One of the most challenging […]

A Caregivers Path

October 7, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

Caregiving is a Team Effort

August 1, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

caregiving

The Fear Factor

July 9, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment
