Theresa Wilbanks cared for her father until he passed at the age of 99. During that time, she learned that caring for a family member is overwhelming, lonely, and stirs the perfect storm of emotions. When she learned to set boundaries, use mindfulness to enhance awareness, identify when winning was losing and equally important, when losing was winning, she began to manage the thoughts and emotions that were causing crippling stress.

With humor and vulnerability, Theresa shares her story and the strategies that helped her move from drowning to navigating. Travel along and hold on through the rapids, loosen your grip to steer over and around the obstacles, and enjoy the float through the calm sections. Learn tips to manage hospitalizations, when driving is no longer safe, medication management, and more.

Caregiving changes us. The struggle makes us stronger. Sustainable caregiving strategies will serve you through the caregiving experience and beyond.
