  1. About Us Being a caregiver can destroy us, or it can resurrect us into a life of wisdom and compassion. When my wife Linda was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease at age 51, both of us embarked on a journey that would reshape our destinies. To search the depths of my pain and thus discover empathy, patience, understanding and love is the path to my healing. It is my strong desire for those who share this journey with me, to experience hope and inspiration, in a community of love and support that by our choice, can be Positively Transforming. Only to the extent that we expose ourselves to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us

  2. Our mission To support caregivers in caring for their mental, physical and spiritual well being and to create greater awareness for family and friends to the daily challenges all caregivers and their Loved Ones face. There is very little that is easy about being a caregiver for a Loved One with Alzheimer’s disease. However, at the center of any challenge is opportunity. Support the Caregiver was created to illuminate the opportunities within each of us and to turn this time of hardship into one of profound growth.

  4. Caregiver Support New York If you are a primary caregiver or someone who would like to support a caregiver, if you want to make some positive and life transforming changes in your life, schedule a complimentary conversation with me.

  5. FACTS Nearly 60% of caregivers rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high; about 40% suffer from depression, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Caregivers are at a 63% higher risk of mortality than non-caregivers in the same age group, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh researchers Richard Schulz and Scott Beach reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association in December 1999.

  6. OUR RESPONSE TO ABOVE FACTS: We strongly encourage you to reject the "inevitability" of these facts. Instead, we ask you to broaden your perspective that caregiving is an insurmountable obstacle that will lead to exhaustion, illness and death. Let’s begin to look at the caregiving path as an opportunity for • Growth • Possibility • Healing Let’s examine perceived limitations of what you think you are capable of and have your caregiving journey be an opportunity to discover and create the very best version of yourself.

This plan is best suited for the caregiver, friend, family member, neighbor, that feel the need to talk things out and requires support with a particular challenge.

  8. Alzheimer’s Association New York YOU MUST INSIST THAT YOU DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO CREATE A COMPELLING ENOUGH REASON FOR YOURSELF TO NOT JUST SURVIVE CAREGIVING, BUT ALSO THRIVE AS A RESULT OF IT. The opportunity to cultivate the attributes of patience, empathy, love, understanding, gratitude, inner strength, faith, courage and wisdom are greatest when they are forged in the fires of a struggle of this magnitude. We can never pretend or presume, that just because we are open to such potent teachings that the process is made any easier. It certainly isn’t, although in caregiving, quitting is never an option. Some days it is simply about searching for the courage to put one foot in front of the other, while on other days you discover that your well of compassion has become so deep, it’s actually beginning to feel like a reason for optimism.

  9. Caregiver Stress New York IF YOUR COMPASSION DOES NOT INCLUDE YOURSELF, IT IS INCOMPLETE Your healing comes from treating yourself with love and reverence at a time when exhaustion and despair taunt you! These 9 Strategies offer you a guiding light on your path as a caregiver! I started out by saying that I am a caregiver. I understand just as much as you the suffering of this illness, and I understand just as much as you the call to want to live a life that is a testament to the lessons we have learned. Life is indeed precious, and we owe it to our Loved Ones, to ourselves, to our higher self, to take a swan dive into the deep end of the pool of possibilities and be a shining example of how to grow and prosper emotionally through our profound challenges.

  10. Early onset Alzheimer’s New york For caregiving to be a healing journey towards transformation, I believe with all my heart that it must also be a spiritual quest. It is not enough to have steely resolve as a caregiver. Doing what needs to be done by placing one foot in front of the other will get you to your destination. Our destination is a future filled with the quiet joy from the lessons learned in the crucible of our tribulations. During caregiving, something deep inside us must fundamentally shift, bringing us to a place where our lives are about possibility. We can, we will, we must, we are stronger than we know!

  11. Stages Of Alzheimer’s New York From one day to the next Alzheimer’s Disease became a reality for me. David and Linda are close friends, they are family. Linda, at 50 years of age, was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease. After my initial shock eased a bit, I had a choice to make. I could go on with life as I knew it, I could wait and see how the illness progressed and somehow figure out how to support my friends down the road when things got really tough. Or I could be there for Linda and David 100 %. I knew they were going to need all the help they could get.
