Hi, Everybody. I wanna share with everybody my condolences, too, over one of our family here’s loss of a parent that I see posted. I have so much respect and sympathy for our caregivers who have made it to that point — nobody wants to be there, and it’s about incrementally increasing caring that does [...]

Hi Denise and Everybody, I apologize for not having been able to update sooner, with a billion busy things that’ve been going on this late spring and summer. I hope today is a little bit better of a “today” for everybody, care givers and care experiencers alike, compared with everybody’s “yesterday.” May and June flew [...]
Hey Everybody. Hoping everyone, who celebrated Mom’s Day if applicable, had as nice a one as possible for you. I’m kicking back after having seen the one and only legendary Diana Ross in Boston last night — what a class act! It was my “gift” to myself after my first academic year back in school, [...]
Hey guyz, wishing everyone not only a Happy Mother’s Day, but a Happy day also for caregivers of moms or maternal loved ones who worked to make everything as right as possible for their moms today, or who couldn’t but were there in spirit. I took my mom out to one of her favorite places [...]
Hello guyz, I hope your New Year has started out as relaxing and healthy as possible. Me, it was cool but I’m writing to need to vent. As you might’ve heard, here around Boston we’ve had 2-3 days of on and off snowstorms, totaling where I live to about 10″. Through a longtime friend who [...]
Happy Holidays to everybody, I hope everyone is perhaps having the gift of having a little time for themselves, amidst all the caregiving that we are being responsible for. The community college at which I work is closed this week between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. And I am making it a “time-out” period [...]

My mom’s house is like a waystation for the Holidays, with us and then cousins and other relatives coming and going and telephoning. Well inthe evening, before I was getting ready to leave, I remembered that I’d had it in my [...]

I’ve returned to higher ed after 25 years. I am in my first course, Strategic Human Resources Management, in my grad program at UMass/Boston — Gerontology with Aging Services Management Track. My next big paper I’m starting to write is going to focus on volunteerism in the Salvation Army. They have a lot of elderly [...]
Ugh. Today was one of those days I felt that I was going to implode. The week started off well — I pulled off a coup and, despite a nor’reaster here in Boston, I really did my best to take Mom out for dinner for her birthday, surprised her with a certificate to her favorite [...]
Happy Labor Day, Everybody. I know that sounds twisted…all most of us ever do is “labor” — so I mean that I hope that everyone saved some time for themselves to have a block of space of peace and serenity, even mentally, sometime today. I think I’m like a lot of people that Labor Day [...]
