FUTURE TOPICS
September marks "Bloggy-versary" number three. This brings the total number of posts to about 150. You will notice that recent essays have links to previous posts, that may compliment the topic or provide additional information. For example, September is Suicide Prevention/Awareness Month so here is the link with information about the 988 Crisis Line:
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 9/13/24
Christian Mental Health Initiative 9/21/24
Posts later this month will highlight awareness of various types of cancer and links to the organizations that support people who are affected.
I was beginning to think that after three years, coverage of topics related to caregiving might be complete. However, recently a friend was in touch with my husband Mike, and their conversation turned to what to do if you are the designated Medical Proxy or there is a Living Will in place. Mike was able to give guidance based on his own experience and that of family members. I realized that this is an area that is not common knowledge, so people confronted with this situation would benefit from a review of this information. Here are some topics that are planned as A Map Through The Valley enters year four:
-Role of a Medical Proxy; Executor; Power of Attorney
-End of Life Decisions and Living Will
-What is Palliative Care? How does it differ from Hospice Care?
-How to cook when the caregiver and loved one have differing nutritional needs
I will continue to share practical tips, links to resources, easy recipes, book titles of interest to caregivers. If you have suggestions along these lines, or a topic you would like to see covered in the blog, please be in touch via the email or text you received as a subscriber. Thanks so much for your continued support of A Map Through The Valley.
