Affirmations for Caregivers and Those They Care For
Janet presents a number of her affirmations to uplift those caring for a loved one along with those they are caring for. She uses stirring stories from her experience caring for her husband, Charles, during his five year struggle with a degenerative neurological disease. The affirmations she shares focus around the emotional and relationship side of dealing with chronic or degenerative illnesses. If requested, her presentation can also include practical information on how to work with doctors, professional caregivers, and other family members.
Janet tailors the affirmations she addresses to the particular disease and symptoms that the group typically faces. With all the affirmations she gives, she illustrates them with personal stories from Charles and her experience.

- It's perfectly normal to grieve even before my loved one dies
- I will let the love flow, even when all else is lost
- I will accept that some people will find it difficult to visit my loved one. That's okay -- it doesn't mean that they've stopped caring.

For Hospice Groups
For Hospice organizations, Janet typically speaks to the interdisciplinary teams as well as at events for Hospice volunteers.

She describes the wonderful Hospice experience she and Charles had and the role each of the Hospice workers contributed to their quality of life during this very difficult time. She finishes her presentation with affirmations that are applicable to issues pertaining to the end of life. These affirmations can not only uplift the Hospic worker but can also be used by them to uplift the patients and families they are caring for. These include:
- It's perfectly normal to grieve even before your loved one dies

Learning from Charles
A popular talk she gives currently is entitled, "Learning from Charles."
Though he died at the age of 50, Janet's husband, Charles, inspired others to reach their potential. Living each day with passionate enthusiasm, Charles sought to make a difference in people's lives by believing in them and expecting the best from them.
In this presentation, Janet describes five life principles that she has learned from Charles.
They include:
- Live your mission,
- Build relationships,
- Give grace,
- Be determined to reach your goals, and
- Value others.
Weaving personal stories to explain these principles, Janet touches a chord that inspires us all.
