Grief and Bereavement is critical to overall wellness and is focused on the psychological, emotional, spiritual and mental well-being of persons who have experienced a death, loss and/or those who are experiencing an anticipatory loss, and their partners and family members, as they deal with issues of self-esteem, identity, adaptation to illness and its consequences, social functioning and relationships, communication and spiritual suffering. I offer this care.
Migration! As I age I am like a bird, moving around and going from place to place. Now I am in the north, I see how needs are very different. I enjoy my new location and can see where personalized care may be needed. With my many years of experience as a resident care provider, I have learned many skills for in-home caring. Whether it be preparing a meal, laundry, or personal hygiene I embrace all that is needed to age in place, in your own home.
I am learning about my own aging and realize things change when we least want them to. The stress of coping can be challenging in itself without the added pressure of self-care. I can help. I offer private one on one care in your home and can personalize this care for you. Based on an hourly rate we can work together to be sure you live safely and well in your own environment.
Do you need some help to remain in your home? Is your family worried you may struggle? Failure to thrive can be compensated with a little help. Call me today to discuss your in-home needs for care.
Inspiration
In our own book of life there is so much to share and this can be done through inspiring stories and healing chatter about the our lives. What does your life look like? Are you living it fully and fruitfully? As you live into the third trimester of your life, where do you need guidance and support to flourish?
Grief
Grieving is hard and it is challenging for a long time after the service. Nothing is going to take its place and nothing will make it easy or fun. Good grief is a journey and builds hope and passion for living on in a good way with the memories of the person who has died. This love is deep within the heart and will be expressed through sadness, tears and remembering for the days and weeks to come. Cynthia provides followup time for anyone who needs grief support.
Third Third
I work with people who have reached 100 years old every day. They are in various stages of physical and mental health. I wonder as I sit with them if anything they could have done earlier in life could have changed the landscape. I will never know. What I do know is when I hear someone complaining and suffering because they feel they have been hard done by, that is where I know changes could have been made. Are you this person? Let’s talk!
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
