Caregiver Story
Mrs. GaylordGrief can be a major issue in giving care, even before the loved one passes away. When a caregiver takes on their new role the whole relationship that previously existed changes and most likely, is never the same. This is especially true for adult children who take care of their aging parents. Such was the case for Paula Gaylord who took on the role as caregiver for her mother. Mrs. Gaylord’s mother lived in Florida for 38 years until the hurricane season of 2005. She and her house made it through one hurricane but a second rolled through and tore off her roof. She was determined to stay in the sunshine state but soon realized that it was impossible. Her daughter, Paula, who lives in Michigan, offered her a place to stay and she accepted. Neither could foresee the bumpy road that was ahead of them. |
