Spousal Caregiving: One Woman’s Love Story
This February, Lotsa Helping Hands is hosting a Webinar highlighting what to expect when caring for a spouse. No one is ever prepared to become a caregiver. Often, we are thrown into the role without much warning.
Sylvia Mackey, wife of the late John Mackey, tight end for the 1971 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Colts and Professional Football Hall of Famer, will share stories and insights from her own caregiving experience. Sherri Snelling, Caregiving Club CEO and author of an upcoming book on celebrities who have been caregivers, will interview Sylvia who is featured in her book, and offer tips on how to prepare to care for a spouse with dementia.
Whether you’re caring for a Super Bowl champion, or caring for the champion of your family, join us to learn about all of the resources you have when creating a Lotsa Helping Hands Community web site. Caregiving is no easy task. But, love motivates.
