CAREGIVER SUPPORT - Alpharetta, GA
Your heart sinks every time your phone rings.
Is it your dad’s assisted living in Alpharetta calling to tell you he’s fallen? Is it your mom calling to ask you to run an errand, take her to a doctor’s appointment at Northside? Maybe it’s not a call at all, but one of a zillion reminders of everything you have to do as you manage your loved one’s medical conditions, needs, and finances. And that’s only half of it. There’s also your own children, relationships, commitments, work, and responsibilities. How the hell do you handle it all?
The sandwich generation feels overwhelming.
Sandwiches are good, right? Satisfying and firm exterior, with a delicious and rewarding interior. Instead you’re stuck in the middle, being pulled in opposite directions with no idea how to hold it all together.
Do you often:
Tell yourself you can’t do anything well?
Feel guilty that you can’t do it all?
Stress and worry about your loved one?
Think you’re not doing enough?
Forget important commitments and events?
Wonder how you can be in 3 or more places at once?
Once upon a time, you could hold all the balls in the air, now they’re pounding down like rain in a thunderstorm.
I can help. Together we will tackle the practical pieces of helping a loved one with cancer or medical needs, senior living, and lessen the emotional weight of your responsibilities giving you the freedom to enjoy and thrive in this stage of life.
If you’re ready to find your life again, feel accomplished with your responsibilities, and leave the guilt behind, email or call/text me at 678-827-2111 for your free 15 minute phone consultation.
