You're caring for a loved one with a serious illness.
You have so many questions.
What will happen?
Is she going to live?
What now... what will my life be like?
Will I be able to handle it?
And most of all ...
Can I really do this?
It can be really frightening and exhausting. Doctors, tests, diagnoses, medications - more tests. All the time trying to be there for her but feeling so helpless.
But most of the time it simply seems overwhelming. Maybe you find yourself tearful at the most unexpected times ... a conversation with a co-worker about an event in the future can bring a flood of feelings and fears.
Who can you talk to?

Walking the path with you
I hope you are lucky and you have a great support system. But not everyone is so lucky.
There are friends and family that may help for a while. But at some point it feels like a burden to talk to them about the same problems again and again. Maybe you find that others are well-meaning but they often say things that cut to the quick.
And you aren't sure how the two of you can talk about "it.".
I'd like to be there for you.
I lost someone I love to breast cancer and I'm very familiar with the rollercoaster of emotions that caregiving brings.
You don't have to go through this alone.
Caring for someone you love with a serious illness is hard. Doing it alone is even harder.
Please call or email today and let's get started.
Now is the time for you.
With caring and respect,
