When Caregiving Ends for ME. STRONG advice!

They tell us being a family caregiver or caregiver is THE most difficult job. I can agree to that. But, when it's time the caregiving ends....it's really hard. Especially if caregiving ends as you lose your parent. That's extremely hard. Listen to my advice as a caregiving when battling for your loved one in the hospital, or any place really. I'm going to share my caregiving experience with you. My journey here on my channel. Please view previous playlist to help guide you,....mainly inspire you. If you found my channel as a caregiver, never give up hope. Stay strong, stay focus, and stay YOU. I will keep sharing my journey as I keep moving forward. In this video we start a whole new chapter. I hope you find hope in all that you do! Keep it lovely. #deelovelylife #caregiving #strokesurvivors #familycaregiver

Caregiving & my journey Vlogs in the description box! Thank you all for allowing me to take time to finally begin to edit and publish these next upcoming videos. XO, Dee & Queen "G's" family.

[@donnanorman340]

I am so very proud of you and Jay on how you stepped up to the plate for your mom. I just turned 75 a couple of weeks ago. I have two boys and I know that they won't be there for me, especially the youngest ones. He lives just down the street from me, I have asked him a few times for help and he always says no problem I'll be there in a minute but never shows up. His excuse is always, I for got. My other son we don't get along much It's scary knowing that your along in tbe tine of need. So thank you for being there for your mom when she needed you the most. ❤️ 💔🙏😇 💛from 🇨🇦

[@DeeLovelyLife]

My Mom had ALWAYS told both Jay and I almost DAILY of how appreciative she was he and I done for her. Thank goodness for Jay. He really helped me to get her up and out! I sure hope your sons soon change their ways. I send you warm hugs your way!!! Thank you for commenting! AND watching!

[@joanpotanko6351]

You had a Wonderful Mom. You and Jay took great care of your Mom. She appreciated it and was so happy there with you and Jay. RIP Queen B

[@DeeLovelyLife]

She was VERY happy wherever we were. She had ALWAYS told us, “I know I’m safe & good, as long as I’m with you both!”

[@michaelmorgan7893]

She was so very blessed to have you in her final years and days. God bless you and Jay for loving her. She is smiling down proud of you.

[@DOSEOFSHAOLIN]

I'm genuinely so proud of you Dee ❤ Queen G was so blessed to have you and Jay on her team!

[@jennyjenkins877]

24:00 You showed the literal representation of just putting one foot in front of the other to process the loss and the grief. You are amazing and strong to share this very personal part of your life.

Aww....you're welcome! I feel the same lol, especially looking at it through a camera and editing.

❤my life as a caregiver for my boyfriend of 16+ yrs ended 3 wks ago. Nearly a year of in/out of hospital ICU & 2 short stays in a care center left me stressed financially & emotionally. I'm back to work & improving with self care. 🙏 for you.

[@nativeeducator517]

You are amazing, Dee! Being a full-time caregiver for a parent is quite the journey of love. I felt all that you experienced (as I went through it a year and a half ago with my dad and am going through now with my mom). Embrace the gift of no regrets. You provided the best care possible for your beautiful momma at home, that's so important for our precious loved ones. Having your beautiful mom for years beyond what was expected is a testament to your caregiving abilities, patience, advocacy, and love. I am in awe at how you made the time to stop and vlog in order to help others. Thank you for sharing something so personal. Many caregivers will benefit from this vlog. So happy you are blessed with a great man, Jay, who has been by your side and who loved your beautiful momma, too! My heartfelt condolences to you and your loved ones.❤️

[@DeeLovelyLife]

Absolutely NO regrets! Only an honor, and unconditional love. Thank you for all your kind and much appreciated comments. I remembered grabbing my camera that early morning. I knew there was an important purpose to share. Even if it was in my most vulnerable and scariest days. I'm very lucky to have Jay who helped me with no hesitation. He was the Queen "G" whisper at her most difficult days. He and her had such a cute little bond, and morning routine that was just between them. I only heard the laughter on the speaker. We are surrounded by my sister, her family, my Dad, and all of my mom's family during this time. I'm truly blessed to had experience such a love her and I shared.

I remember the first time I found out about your channel was a few years back. I was a new caregiver at my agency and I needed some tips on bed ridden patients, that’s when I came onto KZbin in hopes of learning important tips and tricks. Rest in Love Queen G 🩷💕

So sorry Sis. You never really get over the loss of your mom. 🤗. 😊❤

[@DeeLovelyLife]

So true

[@marciejones3538]

You’re a trooper. Find comfort in knowing how well you took care of your mom. And know that we, subscribers loved our Mom Queen G, as much as the fellow KZbinrs. She definitely was a well known celebrity in my home. 🤗

[@rbegay]

Hi Dee & Jay, am very thankful you posted this video, yes losing a mother is hard but we have to carry on their teaching and I know you're doing that , proud of you two, take care and my prayers are with you ❤️ 💙

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Hugs to you & Jay!! I’m tearing up here remembering when my mom passed in 2020. 3 days before she passed nursing home called and said to come because it seems like the end. I whispered in her ear “Mom it’s ok my you go be with Kim (my sister) you can let go now. Not an easy thing to do. We did the same for my dad when he passed in February of this year. Sister told him it’s ok to go Mom is saving a seat for you. 😘💜🙏😘💜🙏😘💜🙏🥴💜🙏😘

[@DeeLovelyLife]

Oh man, hugs to you Michelle! I told my mom several days before she passed, when she was apparently too weak to speak at times. I told her, "It's ok Mom, I know what you're saying to me. I love you too, and you're welcome." Not much that wasn't shared between her and I.

[@Yvonneb_]

Your Mum (Queen G ) was an amazing lady but I'm sure you know that already. I was lucky really as my sister took over the taking care of my Mums funeral etc. I was not in a good state, it hit me hard. My sister and her husband plus one of my sons even sorted Mums house out. I was truly grateful to them. Dee and Jay I'm sending you virtual hugs. ❤❤ xx

[@kimberlymiller655]

I have followed along your journey with your mom 😢😢 I am so sorry that you are grieving because that is so difficult.

[@DeeLovelyLife]

It has been an up and down journey as my mom's caregiver full time at home. It had so many life lessons in its own. I keep making videos for those like you! Thank you for your support all these years Kimberly! This journey is not over yet. More to follow!

[@TheHelpfulHome]

[@Anna57bal]

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤My mother also had a stroke, she survived for many years before she passed. The doctors told my father that the damage caused by the stroke was to much for her body😢

[@DeeLovelyLife]

Strokes damage the body and brain so much. Not to mention their immune system, and every other system. I'm so sorry about your mom and her stroke. #strokewarrior

I couldn’t watch this right away, as my mom is battling her own illnesses and I’m scared. You took such good care of her, and showered her with love.

[@cherries1952]

Dee you were blessed with a wonderful mother. It must make your heart swell with pride at the amount of people who loved Queen G. I sobbed right along with you. It was heartbreaking to watch. You were such an amazing caregiver & daughter. Queen G was very blessed. My mom died on July 14th 1987. I was only 35 when I lost her. She fought hard having breast cancer. She also had a heart attack and stroke before the breast cancer. She lasted for 5 years. The doctor told me she wouldn’t have lasted that long. It was my care that kept her going. You did the same for Queen G. I still miss my mother so much. We were very close like you were with Queen G. I hope doing these videos gave you some comfort. I appreciate what you did with the videos. Much love to you & Jay. God bless you both, Lucy

Yes, I totally agree. I'm so sorry about your Dad passing of Cancer. I can't even imagine that journey. Hugs to you. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and channel. The doctors and nurses gave me much praise in the great care I gave her. The respect I was given was clear. Queen "G" is very proud of me, as she had always told me. I know this video was done just as she would hope for. And especially, if it can help at least one or two more people who is, or will be experiencing this. Hugs to you!
