Mindfully Coping with Grief - Today I thought we would have a chat about mindfully coping with grief, as it is something I am currently experiencing.

“When it comes to #grief, it can be easier to distract or push away your #feelings, especially if u have other people who rely on u..but that doesn’t mean that my feelings are not valid or that I should ignore them": buff.ly/e3dweu4

Becoming More Active With Chronic Illness - We all know how important exercise is, but becoming more active with chronic illness is not easy. It can cause flares of pain and fatigue

"I have an #accessible #exercise #playlist with about 300 routines all for people who are #disabled. I do one every evening before bed depending on how active my day has been and how I am feeling.": buff.ly/vJFJOay

Improving Communication as a Caregiver - Today I want to talk about improving communication as a caregiver and why it is so important to set boundaries.

"Unfortunately, as me and my husband found out 5 years ago, becoming a #carer can happen suddenly & to anyone. We never thought #mom needed help she hid it from us, until she had a fall, and we were called to help her.": buff.ly/1SvTrSo

As this government came to power I and many others urged them to scrap the two-child benefit limit, which would instantly have taken 250,000 kids out of poverty.

Not only did they not do that, their policies will now push a further 250,000 people (inc 50k kids) into poverty. Deeply demoralising.

Frustrated with fatigue - I have not done a post like this for a while, most of the time I try to use my life as a teaching moment, but I’m just frustrated with fatigue!

“ #Fatigue seems to come out of nowhere, it affects every decision, every hobby & every time I leave the house. I cannot do anything without 1st thinking about when I will rest, or if I will have enough energy left": buff.ly/4bp8Lz9
