This is not your ordinary business professional, but a faithful example of repaying our parents by caring for them when they cannot.
Amber Johnson has spent the last 7 years taking care of her dad after a car accident and stroke.
We all face the prospect of our parents reaching a state where they need assistance caring for themselves. What will you do? Assisted living? A nursing home? Those aren’t the only options, and may not even be the best option.
Listen and learn today what it takes to consistently show up and care for others. This is outside of business hours, but what can you do today to prepare for that day?
In This Episode, We Discuss:
Takeaways from Caring for Her Dad:
She was stronger than she thought she was.
The importance of taking care of yourself — you have limits.
Sleep is the most important boundary to keep.
Consider the spiritual welfare of your patient, not just their physical welfare.
What Can You Do to Support Caregivers?
Show up and ask how they are doing.
Offer emotional support — don’t just ask, do something to help them.
Be a friend. Constant caring for others can be lonely.
Caring is a marathon — remember caregivers beyond the initial 3-6 months.
