As my husband’s carer, I was referred to the Living Well Services, one of which was the carers group. I accepted with some trepidation not really knowing what it entailed but knowing I had to do something to get extra support.
It turned out to be very beneficial in various ways. The Bach Flower Remedies which have been tailor-made to each individual have helped and are still helping. Showing us different methods of self-care, diet, relaxation, taking time out also helped. I particularly benefitted from the 15-minute guided image therapy.
I am very grateful to have had the opportunity and would highly recommend anyone needing extra support. They are there for us.
My thanks to Donna and Julie who made each week different and informative. I looked forward to going each week to what I referred to as “my safe place” where I could be more myself. I miss going to the Monday group.
