The Caregivers Heart

Over the past three  years I have had alot of  life changing events  occur  in my life.  I have lost two very important people  and also the birth of my  son Joshua.  In these  recent years I have been  in mourning  and not properly attaining to my own health. This has caused more issues  than you can imagine.  I indeed  just spent a tremendous  amount of time in the hospital  facing ones own fears of health issues.  First things  first if I plan to lead a healthy lifestyle that I needed  to make some  changes .  So the first thing I did was to quit smoking after  16 years  The next step  is to lose some  more weight.  So far I am 20 pounds  down.  I am writing  this for those of us to realize  that just because you are a caregiver does not mean you are invincible.  Caregivers need to be  encouraged  at times because we can be our own worst  enemy.  Let's  all be wise and take care of ourselves  before  we are at the receiving  end of caregiving  and  not the giving end.
