			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<Img align="left" border="0" height="1" width="1" style="border:0;float:left;margin:0;" vspace="0" hspace="0" src="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/i/2934745/ueihe/sandwichink"><p></p><p><strong>Hospice Care.</strong> If you’re not familiar with them, the words might not mean much to you. Or perhaps they send shudders down your spine since you know they deal with death and dying. <strong>Really though, hospice is about living. It’s about living peacefully while God allows you to finish your time here on earth, before He takes you gently home</strong>. It’s about support for the patient and the patient’s family. It’s about encouragement, assistance, and caring.</p>
<p><strong>I have dealt personally with a hospice group for my sweet dad who was able to remain at home for his final two months.</strong> He had always dreaded the thought of a nursing home. He also feared going through what he watched a dear friend suffer by having to go back and forth to the hospital in the traditional way of years past. He didn’t want tubes in his nose, nor did he want extraordinary measures. He just wanted to stay home and be surrounded by those who loved him. Hospice made that possible.</p>
<p><strong>As part of the palliative care, they provided for a nurse to come regularly to check on his condition.</strong> They provided an aide twice a week to bathe him and help us with the personal needs she had. They were available on-call for information and advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They made sure he had enough medicine to not suffer. When one of the medications caused a bad reaction, they were there immediately to help figure out what was wrong and make the necessary changes.</p>
<p><strong>A social worker was also provided.</strong> This woman came out and explained what was going on, gave all the options available to our family, and willingly did research for us if we had any questions she couldn’t answer.</p>
<p><strong>They walked us through every step, patiently and gently</strong>. They knew that just starting the process is very difficult emotionally, for both patient and family. They were there for us and we were so grateful.</p>
<p><strong>A few years later, my girlfriend went through a similar process with hospice. </strong>The main difference was that her mom was already living in an assisted care facility. Her mom was able to stay where she was and hospice came in and worked with the family and the staff to provide for the needs they had. Again, she saw numerous examples of them going out of their way to help.</p>
<p>I know that no one is perfect, but <strong>I do think that the vast majority of people who choose to work for palliative care and hospice are very special people working hard to provide a precious gift to all of us</strong>. The gift of helping those who are dying to live their last days here on earth as positively as possible. And the gift of kind and gentle support to a scared and worried family who loves the patient. <strong>For that we are so very thankful.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<Img align="left" border="0" height="1" width="1" style="border:0;float:left;margin:0;" vspace="0" hspace="0" src="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/i/2887712/ueihe/sandwichink"><p></p><h2><strong>Thanksgiving Table Crafts for Grandkids</strong></h2>
<p>On TV, a perfect and beautiful table setting is the finishing touch to a wonderful Thanksgiving meal.  <strong>In this grandma’s house, though, that gets trumped by something I think is even better – grandkid creations.</strong> Last year we made <a title="Fall Wreaths" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.sandwichink.com/give-a-hand-to-thanksgiving-fun-with-grandchildren" target="_blank"><strong>Fall Wreaths</strong> </a>using grandkids&#8217; handprints, handprint family trees, and handprint turkeys. This year, how about some  more <strong>&#8220;Happy</strong> <strong>Thanksgiving&#8221; decor</strong> <strong>ideas</strong>, like:</p>
<p><strong>Fall Foliage Placemats</strong> – Enjoy the great outdoors with the grandkids, collecting colorful fall leaves from your own yard to make a lovely, natural placemat.  If all your leaves are already gone (the weather has been a bit wild and wooly in many parts), you can use artificial leaves you’ve picked up from the craft store.  Cut two rectangles out of contact paper a bit bigger than the size you need. Have your grandkids arrange the leaves neatly on the first piece. If your grandkids are older, they might like to give the placemat a border by gluing strips of construction paper about an inch wide along the edges.  Help them carefully place the second piece on top, pealing part of the paper backing off a little at a time, and press in place. When they are all done, trim the placemats to the size you need.</p>
<p><strong>Pilgrims and Indians Placemats</strong> – Have your grandkids draw or find a pattern for simple silhouettes of Pilgrims and Indians that they can trace and cut. <a title="Kids coloring pages" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.abcteach.com/directory/clip_art/holidays/thanksgiving/" target="_blank">Kids coloring pages</a> are a good resource for those. Place one of each on either side of a sheet of brown or orange construction paper.  They can have fun decorating them, or leave them as simple silhouettes.  Craft feathers could be added for cute details around the edges.</p>
<p><strong>Placeholders or Placecards</strong> &#8211; I love to use placeholders or placecards at the dinner table. These help to eliminate the arguments of who sits where at dinner and are particularly useful if uncle George and aunt Stella insist on armwrestling in the middle of dinner each year. With place cards, you can make sure they are well separated. <img src='http://www.SandwichINK.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' > </p>
<p>Your grandkids can take a piece of card stock or heavy paper, about four inches square, and fold them in half.  Have them print each person’s name on both sides or help them if they aren’t old enough to write. <strong>If you have an older grandchild who has learned how to do calligraphy, that can add a nice touch</strong>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another easy way if one or more of the grandkids enjoys using the computer. Have them use a decorative font to type each name along with a verse or prayer, then print those out and glue them on the card. <strong>If your grandkids are quite young, you might like to prepare ahead of time by printing out some cute Thanksgiving clip art for them to cut and paste onto the place cards while you write the names.</strong></p>
<p>While you and your grandkids are having fun with all this, you could also make some extras. <strong>A set of Thanksgiving placecards or placemats </strong>would be <strong>a very sweet Thanksgiving gift for aging parents, friends, and neighbors. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Taking the time with your grandkids to create these special Thanksgiving place cards and placemats for your table, as well as a special Thanksgiving gift or two, will make your home, and others, even more attractive</strong>, adding color, fun, and great memories to the festivities that will be enjoyed by everyone.</p>

<p><strong>It’s official, per President Obama. November is <a title="National Family Caregivers Month" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/presidential-proclamations-national-family-caregivers-month" target="_blank">National Family Caregivers Month</a></strong>.  Did you know that we have plenty of company, according to Michelle Seitzer of Seniors for Living? In her article, <a title="November is National Family Caregivers Month" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.seniorsforliving.com/blog/2009/11/18/november-is-national-family-caregivers-month/" target="_blank"><strong>November is National Family Caregivers Month</strong></a>, she wrote, “Says the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, <strong>more than 50 million</strong> people currently provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year.” Of course, you know those of us caring for aging parents probably account for a high percentage of that figure.</p>
<p><strong>November is also <a title="Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/presidential-proclamation-national-alzheimers-disease-awareness-month" target="_blank">Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month</a>. It certainly makes sense to couple the two together.</strong> Alzheimer’s disease isn’t the only disease that requires senior home care, but it can be one of the most difficult to deal with. With people living longer and more people getting Alzheimer’s Disease, the number of families impacted by it is definitely growing.</p>
<p><strong>It’s important for us, as senior home care givers, to realize that we do have a lot of company, and we also have a lot of support out there to help us.</strong> From Uncle Sam, to <a title="Medicare" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.medicare.gov/" target="_blank"><strong>Medicare</strong></a>, to our doctors, to our family and friends, to useful blogs and websites like <a title="SandwichINK" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.SandwichINK.com" target="_blank"><strong>SandwichINK</strong></a> and<strong> <a title="Seniors For Living" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.seniorsforliving.com/blog/" target="_blank">Seniors For Living</a>,</strong> there is help and encouragement available. We need to make sure we utilize that support for ourselves in order to fully support our aging parents. As it says in Ecclesiastes, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If they fall down, they can help each other up. But pity those who fall and have no one to help them up!”</p>
<p><strong>If your family is not living close or is unable to help, some good local resources would be:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Your church</strong> – <strong>Many offer senior ministries and these can be a wonderful help.</strong> My church offers a food closet, provides a group of volunteers who can do free repairs for seniors, and hosts special seminars to help educate caregivers on a variety of topics.</li>
<li><strong>City or State Department of Aging</strong> – <a title="The National Council on Aging" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.healthyagingprograms.org/content.asp?sectionid=77" target="_blank"><strong>The National Council on Aging</strong></a> has a list of agencies available for each state.</li>
<li><a title="Meals on Wheels" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.mowaa.org/Page.aspx?pid=183 " target="_blank"><strong>Meals on Wheels</strong></a> – I can’t recommend this wonderful organization enough. It helps our senior adults, whether they can afford to pay for the service or not, and takes a bit of the burden off of us, the senior home care givers. This is such a blessing to both local caregivers and long distance caregivers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>While I’m on the subject of Meals on Wheels, may I put in a bit of a plug for them and <a title="Lindsay Olives" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.LindsayOlives.com" target="_blank">Lindsay Olives</a>? In addition to carrying my very favorite black olives <img src='http://www.SandwichINK.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' > , Did you notice the lovely Christmas wreath at the top of the page?  Lindsay Olives is selling olive leaf wreaths and the proceeds are being donated to Meals on Wheels.</strong> These Christmas wreaths make a lovely and fragrant holiday decoration. Not only that, you can use them to encourage the favorite seniors in your family, while also helping to make the holidays a bit brighter for needy seniors through the services of Meals on Wheels. They are available directly from the <a title="Lindsay Olives website" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://bellcarter.portal.admailwest.com/Default.aspx?PageID=1231&Login=Guest&ProfileID=2&Error=" target="_blank"><strong>Lindsay Olives website</strong></a> or by calling (800) 765-2029.   There’s also a fun giveaway for two <a title="Christmas wreaths at The Dirty Shirt" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://thedirtytshirt.com/handmade-olive-branch-holiday-wreaths-giveaway" target="_blank">Christmas wreaths at The Dirty Shirt</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~../wp-content/uploads/2009/11/LindsayOliveBranchChristmasWreath2009.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Lindsay Olive Branch Christmas Wreath 2009" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/11/LindsayOliveBranchChristmasWreath2009_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Lindsay Olive Branch Christmas Wreath 2009" width="199" height="211" ></a><strong>As one who loves wreaths of all kinds, Christmas wreaths, Fall wreaths, you name it, this is a lovely and creative way to help a worthy cause</strong> and decorate your house beautifully for Christmas.  You could even <strong>use them with your grandkids as the Advent Wreath</strong>, or <strong>have fun helping them add some handmade decorations to it</strong>! Wouldn’t this table setting look even prettier with four red candles around the outside? <img src='http://www.SandwichINK.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' > </p>
<p><a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.sandwichink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/LindsayOliveBranchChristmasWreathascenterpiece.jpg"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="Lindsay Olive Branch Christmas Wreath as centerpiece" src="http://www.sandwichink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/LindsayOliveBranchChristmasWreathascenterpiece_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Lindsay Olive Branch Christmas Wreath as centerpiece" width="244" height="244" ></a></p>
<p>This is a fun and thoughtful way to help a great organization and <strong>remember National Family Caregivers’ month and Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness month</strong>, as well as being a fragrant way to <strong>welcome in the holidays</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation</strong>, I often find myself lying awake at night, unable to sleep. Sometimes it’s due to my metabolism…sometimes it’s because of constantly being awakened due to care giving needs…sometimes it’s just middle of the night worries.</p>
<p>For a couple of years, I spent many sleepless nights getting up and reading or working. That doesn’t happen very much any more. I still wake up. But now when I do, <strong>I’ve found that <a title="one of the best ways to fall asleep" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.sandwichink.com/sleep-aid-for-the-sandwich-generation" target="_blank">one of the best ways to fall asleep </a>is to use my mp3 player to listen to praise and worship music or a quiet sermon.</strong> <strong>They focus my thoughts on God, Who blesses and encourages me</strong>. <strong>And most of the time it also relaxes me enough I can go back to sleep. </strong></p>

<p>I have always loved this quote – since I heard it years ago:  “<strong>To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am</strong>” ~ F. Bacon. Thanks to @RetiredTeacherD @Terrillific RT @gen_kenig for the reminder.</p>

<p><strong>Words of Encouragement  for the Sandwich Generation</strong>!  Many are the plans in a man&#8217;s heart, but <strong>it is the Lord&#8217;s purpose that prevails</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Thanksgiving is almost here and it would be easy for all of us Sandwich Generation senior home care givers to start getting stressed and anxious</strong>. Too many of us feel that everything has to be done, and done perfectly, when the reality is, that simpler is easier and less stressful for all. The most important part of the holidays really should be connecting with each other. Here are a few simple tips to have a more enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner and visit with friends and family.</p>
<h2><strong>Plan Ahead</strong></h2>
<p><strong>While planning the Thanksgiving meal, do you plan who is going to help?  Instead of doing it all yourself, ask friends and family to help</strong>.  <strong>This is especially important for senior home care givers</strong>. I don’t know about you, but in my season of life, I can’t guarantee anything for sure. <img src='http://www.SandwichINK.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' >   So I always plan backups of backups. Asking others to help is one of the easiest ways to accomplish that.  Make a list of what needs done before everyone arrives.  Give everyone something to do and assign things that are age appropriate to the children.  Even plan the after-dinner cleanup and leftover divisions. Before you know it, the leftovers will be wrapped in foil and everyone will have had a great time.</p>
<h2><strong>Covered Dish Meal</strong></h2>
<p><strong>If you are having or attending a large group get-together for Thanksgiving, divide the menu between all who are attending.</strong> The host family can provide the main dish (turkey or ham) and the drinks. Each of the other families can bring a favorite side dish and dessert. If you want to make sure there is a variety, provide a menu and mark things off as people choose what they want to fix.  I’ve done this successfully with both Bible study pot lucks and family get-togethers. This year, I am bringing a yummy pumpkin pie and my specialty salad.</p>
<h2><strong>Simplify</strong></h2>
<p>As I said before, simplifying is good. <strong>Instead of having a huge feast, prepare a smaller meal</strong>.  We all tend to overeat at Thanksgiving, so make an effort to make fewer dishes.  Not only will the preparation be smaller, so will our waistlines.  Our family rarely makes stuffing anymore. We all love it, but it is fattening and with all the other goodies, we never miss it.</p>
<p><strong>Another option is to prepare as much ahead of time as you can.</strong> Slow cookers can be used to make all kinds of foods, even desserts.  Many things can also be made as &#8220;freezer meals&#8221; and stored for weeks before re-heating them.  The less actual cooking you need to do on Thanksgiving, the lower your stress levels will be.</p>
<h2><strong>Be Thankful</strong></h2>
<p>Simply taking the time to be thankful for all our blessings can reduce our stress levels.  <strong>I like to make place cards for each person with Bible verses of thanksgiving.</strong> I also love the custom where everyone shares 1-3 things they are thankful for, either before or after dinner.</p>
<h2><strong>Stop and Smell the Roses</strong></h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you love flowers as much as I do</strong>? And have you ever noticed that when you take a moment to stop and smell them, it seems to help relax you. <strong>You might want to add some Thanksgiving Flowers to your plan.  In fact, add holiday flowers to your list BEFORE the holiday and stop and enjoy them for a second or two throughout the preparation process. </strong></p>
<h2>HAPPY THANKSGIVING</h2>
<p>Following your plan, including stopping to smell the Thanksgiving flowers, means <strong>you really can enjoy a more peaceful and happy Thanksgiving even in the midst of senior home care giving!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<Img align="left" border="0" height="1" width="1" style="border:0;float:left;margin:0;" vspace="0" hspace="0" src="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/i/2672389/ueihe/sandwichink"><p></p><p><strong>Working on my Bible study this morning, I was thoroughly enjoying learning more about the very beginnings of John the Baptist and Jesus. I am currently working through Beth Moore’s Bible study book, Jesus – The One and Only.</strong> I really appreciate and enjoy her ministry of Bible teaching. Both in listening to her and reading what she’s written, I have learned so much. She always digs down and discovers the most interesting little details I would never think of. And they always interest and intrigue me!</p>
<p>Even more, I appreciate how <strong>God can take passages I’ve read dozens, if not hundreds, of times, and make them fresh and new to me each time</strong> I read them. Today He did that several times and it was so encouraging!</p>
<p>Today I enjoyed reading passages from 1 Samuel 1, where I read Hannah&#8217;s prayer of praise. Some of the verses that especially touched this caregiver’s heart included:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>My heart exults in the Lord.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>I rejoice in Your salvation.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>There is no one holy like the Lord. </strong><strong>Indeed, there is no one besides You. Nor is there any rock like our God.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>The Lord is a God of knowledge and with Him actions are weighed.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>The feeble gird on strength!</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Not by might shall a man prevail.</strong></p>
<p><strong>As a Sandwich Generation senior home care giver and grandma, those last two were especially nourishing to my spirit</strong>. Too often I try to do everything myself. Then God has to remind me that I am trying to take over HIS job. I don’t know about you, but I often feel pretty feeble. How encouraging to know that our God, our ROCK, will gird us with His strength.</p>
<p><strong>I hope this will encourage you as it did me</strong>. I pray that your week will be blessed by God, by His hope, by His strength, and by His power. And to help in that, I wanted to share this lovely video from Beth Moore’s  Living Proof Blog.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<Img align="left" border="0" height="1" width="1" style="border:0;float:left;margin:0;" vspace="0" hspace="0" src="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/i/2641510/ueihe/sandwichink"><p></p><p><strong>The holidays are coming closer and I suspect there’s a wide mixture over how various Sandwich Generation senior home care givers are feeling about it</strong>. Some of us are looking forward to it with total glee. Others are in the place I was the year my dad passed away. Our joy and anticipation in the season is tempered by sadness in dealing with our aging parent’s declining health.</p>
<p><strong>I remember going to a Thanksgiving church service and being blessed by the joyful songs and the adorable children’s choir, then going home straight into a new crisis resulting in a trip to the emergency room.</strong> We never made it to the <strong>church’s Christmas programs which are often one of my favorite holiday traditions</strong>. The Hospice program helped so much, and also kept me so busy during that time period. There are many sad memories, but also many blessed ones, like how the kids helped out so wonderfully during the difficult situations, and how his great-grandkids could bring a smile to my dad’s face that little else could do. I especially loved how sweet my parents continued to be with each other during this hard time. It was definitely not our normal holiday season, but it was a blessed season of life!</p>
<p><strong>Other senior home care givers are dealing with aging parents struggling with long-term chronic illnesses such as cancer. </strong>Last year, at the end of the holiday season, I read an interesting article by Melanie Haiken, from Caring’s website, <a title="How to Celebrate the New Year -- with Cancer" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.caring.com/blogs/caring-currents/how-to-have-a-happy-new-year-with-cancer" target="_blank"><strong>How to Celebrate the New Year &#8212; with Cancer</strong></a>. It was such a good article, I put it on my calendar to be sure I shared it with you during this holiday season, well before New Year’s!<a title="http://www.caring.com/blogs/caring-currents/how-to-have-a-happy-new-year-with-cancer" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/ueihe/sandwichink/~http://www.caring.com/blogs/caring-currents/how-to-have-a-happy-new-year-with-cancer"></a> Even though her focus is on cancer, I suspect that<strong> much of it is true for most of our aging parents with any kind of debilitating illness</strong>. Of course, you <strong>always want to check with your own doctor</strong> to be sure, but this article should give you some <strong>great questions next time you take your aging parents to the doctor’s office</strong>. If you aren’t going before the holidays, you could give your advice nurse a call and check with them.</p>
<p>After reading this article of <strong>how much our aging parents can probably do during the holiday season</strong>, <strong>I was greatly encouraged</strong> and I hope you will be too.</p>
<p><strong>What about you? Do you have any tips to share with us on how to combine senior home care giving and the holiday season</strong>? We’d love to hear them. <img src='http://www.SandwichINK.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' >  And be sure to <a title="sign up for the SandwichINK free email" href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=562170" target="_blank"><strong>sign up for the SandwichINK free email</strong></a> with plenty of resources to inform and encourage you during the holidays and beyond.</p>

<p>Their article describes <b>a wide variety of new technologies available now or soon to come to help caregivers and aging parents</b>. Some of these ways include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A virtual check-up with the doctor</li>

</ul>
<p>Using these fascinating technologies and others described in the article can be <b>wonderful ways to save money and time – something we in the Sandwich Generation really appreciate</b>. Hopefully some, if not all, of these will be covered by insurance. And they are all useful for both near by and far away care giving! Be sure to read the whole article to get the full scoop! <b>I’m going to add this to my list of questions for our next doctor’s visit. <img src='http://www.SandwichINK.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' > </b></p>
