Linda Fisher, Sedalia, MO, author and
speaker, will present a one-hour program on Caregiver Emotions, 10:00 a.m.,
June 12, at the Senior Center at Harbor Village, Warsaw. The presentation focuses
on Alzheimer’s caregivers, but caregivers for other diseases are encouraged to
attend.
“Being a caregiver for a loved one
is on-the-job training for a job you never wanted,” Fisher said. “Caregiving is
an emotional rollercoaster. Before you tackle caregiving, it is essential to take care of your own emotional wellbeing.”
Fisher became an Alzheimer’s
Association volunteer when her husband developed dementia at forty-nine years
old. She is an award-winning author and blogger who has published six books of
essays from her early-onset Alzheimer’s blog at http://earlyonset.blogspot.com.
She is an Alzheimer’s advocate and serves on the Alzheimer’s Association Greater
Missouri Chapter Board of Directors.
The presentation is free and open to
the public. Reservations are not required, but RSVP’s are appreciated. For more
