#ArtTherapy self-made with fruit tea. I feel like a wrung-out piece of cloth, drained of all blood. After a few weeks of sheer horror as a #caregiver, then hellish knee pain. (Here in rural France, I have to wait 1 month for a radio/echography.)

But at last, I’m hungry for #art again. Preparing #gauze for an #paperArt #textileArt #artBook with intuitive #embroidery and #collage. 🩸 #Stitching helps me against the pain, and I love this artificial tea blood. 🧛‍♀️ Still searching for a theme ...

My mum’s from Patagonia. Here, she talks about a film shot there, about a man and his dog. “Bombón: El Perro”. It’s an amazing film. Worth seeking out.

Susana was an amazing story teller. Sadly, Alzheimer’s has robbed us of her tales. I often bang on about her plight here, so I thought I’d share some of her, in her pomp.

Sole e senza tutele. L'abbandono di chi si prende cura di un familiare vulnerabile

In Italia assistere una persona cara significa fare i conti con emarginazione sociale, assenza di tutele legislative e pochissimo sostegno economico. A portare avanti questo lavoro invisibile sono in maggioranza donne, le cui ricadute provocano l’insorgenza di patologie fisiche.

#caregiver rant: I give up. The intake appointment industry may be the last straw.

The caregiving I do waxes and wanes, but for almost 3 months I've been doing the kind of round-the-clock intensive sprint-a-marathon caregiving that will BREAK you physically, emotionally, and financially. I don't yet see light at the end of the tunnel.

I was so relieved to discover that (in theory), there are some caregiver support resources out there, like caregiver counseling and emergency respite care. What I've found feels like a cruel joke of a broken system.
