I took care of my mother for five years before she passed away. As my personal experience it's not about just physically being there to assist in living care or attending appointments but to mentally be just as invested. My mother passed away almost two years ago. Prior to her passing she experienced a roller coaster of emotions including depression, anxiety, and even had a lot of self doubt. My biggest achievement was helping her cope and adapt to her new life style. Helping her stay positive even when she felt it was impossible. I worked in dermatology for 8 and half years prior and developed a professional relationship with my patients. It was never a second thought to provide my personal contact information anytime when they were in need. Any family or friend that was in need of home care or assistance I found joy in being the one to provide them with the upmost care and making them feel positive about their current environment and helping them cope with acceptance. From personal to professional experience I have a lot of compassion for what I do. I take pride in my ability to change a life. It's not just rewarding for the patient but for the patients family as well.
