You're very welcome, Tahia. I'm a firm believer in attribution, giving someone full credit for something that inspired or prompted an idea. It's how we can lift each other's work and connect more strongly, and as you've demonstrated, it's how we can inspire each other!

LOVE your article and you offer more context for your situation. I appreciate you sharing. Thanks so much for highlighting Carer Mentor: Empathy and Inspiration. I appreciate you and our connection, means a lot. xo

Thank you for turning your pain into purpose. This is an amazing resource. You honor your parents so beautifully. May 10 is the first anniversary of my mother’s passing from Alzheimer’s, so my anniversary will remind me to remember yours too. If the birthdays aren’t happy exactly, I pray they would be blessed and full of good memories. 💙

Grateful to have found you here 🫂💐

Really interesting to read the background to Carer Mentor, thank you for sharing this. I'm surprised it took me so long to stumble across you, almost 6 months after i started mine. Its great to have you substack, from my perspective it is fantastic having you here. You're like the chief-networking-chairperson of Carer substacks!
