As part of our “Mom” caregiver community, this method of sharing responsibilities allows for others to help out. My youngest niece, who is a Senior in high school 7 hours away, called Mom to see how she was after the procedure and the blizzard.
Anyone reading this blog, do yourself a favor- gather the contacts important to “your Mom.” People that you may not have contact information for on your phone. I have her key neighbors and work friends, her boss and a few other folks that I have saved as a “Group” on my phone.
