"There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver." - Rosalyn Carter
Having to take care of a loved one that is going through some tough situation, health wise, can be overwhelming most of the time, especially if we are the only person that is carrying this burden.
In today’s episode, Erin points out that we are not alone in this, and she teaches us how to create the support group we so desperately need, to avoid the caregiver fatigue. She also shares some of the strategies she has applied when her sister needed an advocate and how she managed to keep everyone informed and looped in, every step of the way.
Erin Galyean is an energetic and passionate certified Becoming Your Best trainer within her organization, whose main goal is to inspire others to have an open mindset, develop new skills, and have fun while learning. Based on her experiences with losing both her father and sister to life-threatening diseases, Erin has recently written a book, “Badass Advocate: Becoming the Champion Your Seriously Ill Loved One Deserves”, with the sole purpose of helping other caregivers who are faced with similar situations to handle everything with ease and grace.
So, listen to Episode 229 of Becoming Your Best, and learn how to plan for something that hopefully you won’t have to deal with, but you most likely will, at some point.
