The Stress Factor

by Deb Sims , MS,RNCS,LCSW

Each of us is unique. We respond to events and experiences in different ways. We actually need stress in our life to produce and to feel alive. It is not a bad thing unless what we are putting out in energy is not replaced by an intake of positive rejuvenating things.

Managing A Challenging Elder

by Jacqueline Marcell

Healthcare professionals who haven't personally been through the nightmare of caregiving for a difficult elder may have a hard time comprehending the depth of the heartache and despair that families go through. So often when the doctor sees the "challenging" loved one, they are very pleasant and certainly not the demon that the family describes them to be at home. Since the doctor will not prescribe medications for conditions he doesn't see, the family is sent home to suffer longer than need be.
