In this workshop, Jessica Guthrie shares a decade-long care journey with her mother, an opportunity for reflective writing on our caregiver mindset, a set of strategies to address challenges, and prompts to develop a roadmap to move forward.
Jessica C. Guthrie says, “I often tell people that being my mother’s full-time caregiver was not on my 5-year plan or my vision board. I never thought that my life would completely change at 26 years old and that I’d still be caring for her 10 years later. I can honestly say there is no perfect score you get for being a great caregiver, or prize you win for mastering a skill, or even a grand celebration for getting through a new stage of your person’s disease.”
Your caregiving journey will be filled with loneliness, frustration, doubt, fear, anxiety but also joy, love and compassion.
During this session, participants will:
- Uncover some of the common challenges and opportunities we face as caregivers
- Articulate strategies for addressing your common caregiving challenges
- Reflect on our own mindsets & orientation toward our caregiving experiences
- Create an initial game plan for how you desire to get unstuck and move forward on your journey
Dr. Toni P. Miles, an RCI Visiting Scholar who serves as an Adjunct Professor at Morehouse School of Medicine, will offer remarks and provide insights into caregiver bereavement.
