When it comes to the early days of the survivor journey, there is no shortage of information coming your way as a survivor, a family member, caretaker etc. I won't even pretend in this episode it is easy to manage because it is obviously unique to everybody situation and telling you to breathe is just flat out. Ridiculous because it's important. Obviously it's better information on how to handle the early days, although it is important to breathe, because it is necessary!
In this episode, I try to highlight some of the things you or those around you may not recognize early on.
You're going to make mistakes nobody gets it right and it takes a lot of effort and energy on everybody's part to manage all the things!
Do not ignore your family, but also remember that you as a survivor our priority number one and that's true also of the caretakers and individual family members. Everybody needs to set their own boundaries and priorities as part of a team.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. It is critical early on because there are going to be limitations both physically and mentally and I think working together the best organize is really going to help when it comes to all the information and education coming your way it could be overwhelming initially.
I hope you find this episode, useful and informative. I know it can be a lot, especially in the early days, but as we go down this journey, things will get lighter and easier. I promise you you probably have heard it 1 million times that it gets easier and it seems frustrating and untrue but with time thing improve so stay strong!
