About Diana

My name is Diana Halvorson. I spent over 7 years providing care to my husband, who passed in late 2019 of cancer-related issues. I did not have much help during that 7 years because we lived in a remote, rural community. I would like to help other people in a similar situation so they do not have to deal with this alone. I believe my most purtenent traits that will help me in this endeavor is my patience and calmness under pressure. I enjoy making people feel that they matter. The love I receive from my children, both human and fur, are the achievements I am most proud of.

Primary caregiver

Sep 2012 - Oct 2019
selfemployed
My husband was diagnosed near the end of 2012 with multiple myeloma. He also had stage 4 renal failure, diabetes, right-sided congestive heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension. In 2015, he was diagnosed with metastatic thyroid cancer. He underwent several surgical procedures. He passed in 2019. During the 7 years of his illness, I took him to all appointments, managed his meds, cared for bodily and, hopefully, some emotional needs as his primary caregiver.
