YES, Victoria — as a reader, I can accept your roundups as "Santa's Care-focused Grotto" (love it!), but as a writer, it feels like the effort of an academic thesis! How ever do you do it?! Thanks so much for the shout-out and support for Haley and my humble comment... your consistency in lifting others is remarkable. I appreciate everything you do for family caregivers. 💛

Awww bless you, Cindy. Thanks!

Sometimes, I just can't let something that seems 'off' go - stubbornness, a dog with a bone, tenacity, the curious researcher in me is compelled to decipher the patterns...all mixed with standing up for those who are too tired to

I appreciate your support Cindy. ❤️

You're welcome, Rob!

Thanks, yep the roundups are intense 🤣 It's amazing how much happens in a month! Usually, there are more article recommendations - which I love to share- but the unpaid carer news was just....a lot. I think this month's roundup is more of a catharsis! I was glad to find publications like yours and 'Positively Deafened'!

Hi! Thank you so much for the mention - I'm so glad you enjoyed my posts and found them helpful. i also very much like Rob Jenkins' writing - his was the first post I read about implants on Substack. I'm trying a new venture at the moment, involving transcribed conversations with my friend, on the topic of my Implant experience. Each are little 'bites', between 2 and 4 minutes long. Your post is certainly a mine of information! I have subscribed to find out more :):)

Hi Victoria, Thank you for the mention and the support!

Your newsletter is such an amazing resource... I may have to ditch the caring for a couple of weeks so I can properly go through it.. 😳😜

🤣😁🤣 You're very welcome, Haley. I enjoy your writing and the way you cleverly frame things and deliver meaningful insights! I envy-admire your writing style ;-)

Well you always know there's something to discover @Carer Mentor - think of it as Santa's Care-focused Grotto! I just might have to play with that theme! ;-)
