It is the perfect stress reliever from the challenges of elder caregiving and in the process creates Moments of Joy, those memories that will last a lifetime. [PRWeb Feb 5, 2008] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/2/prweb669484.htm Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:36:43 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Esther Koch. Whether from son or daughter to mother or father, Valentine's Day provides an opportunity to say "I Love You" in a variety of ways. "These are the memories, that I call Moments of Joy, that will last a lifetime", says Koch. Select a Valentine's Day card with a message that truly reflects you and your feelings. Find an inspirational quote or poem or buy a blank card and personally write your message of love. Have a second copy of whatever card you chose. Read the message out loud to your parent not only on Valentine's Day, but other days as well. "Your parent will truly be touched by this," says Koch. Think about why you are grateful they are your parent and how they bless your life - then tell them. Koch recommends, "When you say I Love You, say it slowly while looking directly into their eyes and holding their hand. Then give them a kiss and a heartfelt hug." Make time for a special one-on-one. Go for a walk or a drive, or have a meal together - maybe a brunch, an afternoon tea or make them one of your favorite childhood dishes. If you are a long-distance caregiver make sure your parent knows you will have that special Valentine's Day celebration on your next visit. "If you have concerns about your parent's health and well being that you have not yet voiced, Valentine's Day can be the perfect day to bring them up," says Koch. When these conversations come from a place of love and compassion, your parents are likely to be more open to them. "The greatest gift you can give someone is your time. As scarce a commodity for you, it is even more scarce for your parents," emphasizes Koch.

"May your life be filled with no regrets; may you see the extraordinary in the ordinary; and may someone be there to brighten your world as you age."

[PRWeb Nov 29, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/elder_care/holiday_stress/prweb572218.htm Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:24:20 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Esther Koch has the prescription to relieve holiday stress with aging parents. "Use the Holidays to change the focus from all that you have to do for your parents to the joyful experiences you can create for and share with your parents," states Koch who has also been the primary caregiver to her mother during the last ten years. "Don't take for granted that your parent will always be as physically and mentally able as they are now." Personalize the joy of the holiday season by creating your own Moments of Joy. Koch emphasizes, "Become a facilitator of experiences and seek to make the ordinary extraordinary. The results can be memorable." Koch provides some suggestions on ways to rekindle or make new holiday traditions. But with just a little thought, the possibilities are limitless. Go to a holiday lighting event; take a drive to see neighborhood Christmas decorations; check out the holiday shopping windows; or buy and trim the tree together. Go to the Nutcracker or a choir concert; participate in a sing-a-long Messiah; or attend a Christmas Eve service. Rent a holiday movie or watch a holiday TV special. Visit old family friends or visit the neighborhoods of holidays past. Bring out the old photo albums; take lots of new pictures and print them up right away; or have a family photo with Santa. Donate food or clothing to a food bank or homeless shelter. Make some special holiday treats or buy some already made. Teach your parents to shop online or do anything, or everything, with grandchildren. "Your Holidays will be joyful if you intend them to be," says Koch. "You may have to start with forgiveness -- forgive your parents, forgive your siblings and forgive yourself. Then you're really on the road to celebration." Koch continues, "Recognize your parent's limits and your own; adjust commitments whenever necessary; and don't forget to schedule time for yourself." Koch concludes, "May your life be filled with no regrets; may you see the extraordinary in the ordinary; and may someone be there to brighten your world as you age."
