Thank You, Donors,
Throughout our 8-week course at the VA, "Taking Steps in Loss and Life," we delved deep into the intricate layers of understanding that loss transcends the mere grieving of a loved one's passing. The loss extends to the personal challenges and obstacles we encounter in our own lives, whether it be the loss of a job, a relationship, or even a sense of identity.
By nurturing a culture of open communication and upholding respect for each individual's unique journey, we not only provide a supportive environment but also showcase genuine compassion in every interaction. Our goal is to empower individuals to navigate their losses with resilience and find solace in the shared experiences of others.
Our training provides a comprehensive overview and current statistics of the dynamic events that transpire in our modern-day American families as our loved ones need higher levels of care during aging.
I was afraid I was heading toward an early grave.Daily, I endeavored to excel as my Mom's caregiver, despite battling low self-esteem and purposelessness. Each day felt like a struggle against inner despair, questioning my adequacy. After 16 years, I found myself in a cycle of moral conflict.
I observed other caregivers, like me, grappling with deteriorating health, often passing either before or after their loved ones. I sensed a greater destiny for myself in this life. If you're in a similar situation, wrestling with fear and guilt, I might offer assistance.

Mama B's Final Requests to Her Caregiver
Nobody truly appreciates the selfless work of a caregiver, and sometimes it feels like nobody cares about you either. It's always your instinct to prioritize others before yourself, but until you prioritize your well-being like countless other caregivers, you'll continue to serve others without experiencing the true fulfillment of life. It's up to you to make a difference and remind caregivers of their immense significance.
Mama B uttered these words, as she entrusted me with two promises before she passed:
1. take care of her son Chuck "Warren" and keep him out of trouble 2. continue the shared passion as caregivers, and strive to create a meaningful impact on the world by uplifting humanity
