Making The Most of The Time We Have.
When my role changed to adding caregiver to my already full schedule, being the only breadwinner, while trying to hold it together at home was taking its toll on me…
Something I did not want to say often was “if only”.
Instead I wanted to focus on finding solutions for:
- How I was going to carry the load myself.
- Making the best decisions for my husband’s quality of life.
- Having married sons who live far away stay involved.
- Figuring out how to travel to see the people whose lives he
impacted one more time while He can still remember.
- How to make memories with the grandchildren.
- Having time with Herb as each stage brings more support
involvement.
- Keeping positive and being grateful as we live life to the
fullest.
The list goes on…
Family and friends saw how I was grieving and getting worn down. I knew I could not risk burn out, but instead I needed to find solutions for the journey we are on.
I knew once the decision was made to have my husband give up his position, I would need to find something extra that I could do from home while being available to him now more than ever.
My wish was to find something that allowed me to control my own schedule and had earning potential. I spent so much energy trying options that my friends and family had all heard before.
I learned the hard way, that with the other options I tried, they did not bring lasting results and tied up my evenings and weekends, time I was trying to give to my husband.
After committing 2 years and watching my recruited members drop off, I knew the current practices were not going to get me where we needed to be.
That’s when I was finally honest with myself!
Herb needed me to be available in the evenings. At the same time I needed to be able to fulfill all my obligations and commitments.
Finding a method that worked in the background while producing results was what I needed.
Thankfully I found what I was searching for, and by implementing the strategies I learned, my hope was restored.
I now can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Instead of be overwhelmed with the demands of being a full time caregiver, having a career, and self-care, I am confident in what I have in place at this time.
Our location may change, but my laptop and mobile device give me all the access I need.
If interested in learning how, register for a live Virtual Seminar.
The same strategies will be revealed that gave me the option to have control of how we will spend the time given to us.
What is so great is that a replay link is available to watch when convenient.
So what is next? Why not ask me how to register for the Virtual Seminar?
Why not now...because the time we have is not guaranteed.
All the best!
Linda
