Mallory posted an update in the group Healthcare Insurance 6 days ago

I’m very concerned my mom’s care will change due to the cuts in Medicaid. Anyone have any insight into how this works overall and specifically in South Dakota?

I’ve learned to meditate anywhere for any length of time needed. It’s so helpful as I deal with everything in life. Caregivers – try it. I didn’t think I would like at first.

Ugh! Now I’m dealing with family issues and it’s really difficult because I’m at a distance geographically. NY to Chicago. It’s incredibly hard. I wish my family could be on the same page, but I know from my work with families that this is quite common.

Exercise Provides an Outlet Unfortunately, there’s no magic cure for the demands of caregiving, but many caregivers may find some relief and relaxation via exercise.
