Supporting Caregivers through Resource and Community
“Caregivers are like angels on Earth, providing comfort, support, and love to those in need.”
“The sacrifices made by caregivers often go unnoticed, but their impact is immeasurable.”
Your Trusted Caregiving Companion
Welcome to the Caregiver’s Nook! My name is Allison and I am happy you stopped by! What is the Caregiver’s Nook you may be wondering? I wanted to create a place where fellow caregivers can turn to get some self-help. Not just the big stuff kind of help that is available on many websites but also the smaller more personal help kind of stuff that can help you feel more human and less alone (or feel more human in your desire to be alone like myself!)
My husband, Glenn, and I were in the thralls of life, married for 22 years, raising two amazing teenage girls, running a restaurant together, struggling to balance life, when everything came crashing down. Glenn suffered a massive stroke from which he would struggle to make a minimal amount of recovery and I would struggle to survive.
It has only been 3 years since the stroke, but it feels like I have learned a lifetime of knowledge in that time. In those three years I had to work way too hard, dig deep, practice a lot of mindfulness, learn to accept what is, and most importantly figure out how to have a sense of self while being a full-time caregiver. At times I am still a complete disaster but my ability to recover quickly has evolved. The biggest gift we all have is the power of our mind, we just need to learn to use it to help ourselves.
Why did I create the Nook? I finally got to a point in my caregiving journey where I have enough insights and energy to help others get to a better place emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I want to help you find a little bit of your own self. I want to give you resources that can help make your day a little brighter, a little lighter, and maybe even a little easier.
