Today’s client-struggle is one I see all too often. Even the unannounced change of the tv schedule is enough to throw them off, causing frustration & teary-ness. Imagine losing the ability to problem solve, always thinking it’s your fault (even when it’s not). #dementia#bekind
15 years ago I had a fully loaded pistol in my mouth ready to end my life not because I wanted to die but I was exhausted from living in emotional pain and suffering. I started talking about my trauma and started to heal. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay#helpingishealing
"..we’ve inherited a narrative of what is normal in later life: that old age is a time to relax, rest, and retire.These are fine pursuits, to be sure, but they don’t necessarily add up to a full life." by @josephcoughlin lin https://t.co/sJIJmXD94B via @qz#babyboomers#aging
My gran refused to eat the roast I made for dinner. But she just ate two puddings. My 90 year old gran just pulled a toddler. Well played Grans, well played.
So sad to have lost a client this morning. She was a delight to see each week - I loved how her smile lit up her face and her giggle made everyone laugh along. As difficult as it is to lose someone, I’m glad her body, mind, and soul are at peace now. ❤️
A #braininjury can mean a loss or change of employment. That can hurt the #survivor and their family on many levels. Here are some ideas for dealing with them via @RecoverFromTbi https://t.co/kNbadv3dGj
I was thoroughly impressed with today’s interaction with an investigator from the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care. She was a great listener, attentive and caring, showing interest in my client’s best interests and validating of my concerns as the person reporting. 🙂#seniors
