Caregiving is something that creeps up on us. It starts off with a little task such as taking our dad to a doctors appointment, or helping mom with housework. We find ourselves doing the grocery shopping and refilling prescriptions, eventually, we are doing more and more. At some point, we realize we have made a commitment to take care of someone else. But it doesn't always start this way. It could be a major life changing heath event that triggers caregiving: stroke, heart attack, or even an accident. Or maybe one day we're struck with the reality of our father slowly losing his memory. Time stops and all our energy goes to caring for our loved one. Caregiving has become our new career, and we adjust to a new normal. That's how it began for me. Growing up in a family full of nurses- I naturally had a passion to take care of others, but when my grandpa developed Alzheimer's that's where my path of caregiving truly began. After my grandpa passed- I took on the role of caring for my grandmother who at that point lost her memory, was completely blind and hard of hearing. After she also passed- I decided to pursue Nursing. Providing care and comfort for others in their time of need is what drives me.
