“Being an unpaid #caregiver is the epicenter of Life Sucks Disease,” says @adrane CEO of @ArchangelsMe, “but it’s also one of the most glorious jobs we’ll ever have.”
So, what’s the trick to managing the “sucky” side of #caregiving?
Data.
How?👉📺youtu.be/CtjLbNWnh98

Sometimes work & private lives can’t & shouldn’t be separate. “I ran for my life from the #HighlandPark shooting. It will haunt me forever.” forward.com/opinion/509020/h… #highlandpark #HighlandParkParade #GunViolence @DBashIdeas @shaynamalka @Schneider4IL10
AND… then we left for a holiday (aka HOLLA-YAYYYYYY)!!! Here’s to the enormous gift of time with family who are far away… off we go to deliver all the love. #feeltheluckiest @ArchangelsMe
Getting ready to step on stage (and pass out) at #LIFEITSELF to get real about the gorgeous (and hard) intensity of unpaid #caregiving. Here in person or in spirit because you are caregiving right this minute? Get your score, join the conversation, and we love you. Wings UP!
Not today, #COVID…not today. All the #love to all the loved ones in the midst…and to all those caring for them @ArchangelsMe #AnyCareCounts
There is only one FIRST TIME you get to experience the majesty of a Shamrock Shake. For my dad, this was it: #BLISS Taking a moment to be grateful for a bright spot: my pops living in #Boston, and the #caregiver special… @McDonalds for dinner!! WINGS UP, BABY! @ArchangelsMe

Magic in mailbox today. Delicious scones AND custom artwork? Hot DANG! Thank u @humansofny for sharing Mary O’s story (bit.ly/3B7yHLs). She is an #Archangel for sure – I’ve eaten 7 in last 12 hours (self-medicating w food = extreme skill for #caregivers).
Am I the only one SO SUPER FREAKING CRANKY w @NBC for how they are covering @MikaelaShiffrin #Olympics2022? We've learned to stop filming when an athlete is 'down'...She brought her best self!! MENTAL INJURY IS ALSO AN INJURY!! TURN OFF YOUR CAMERAS and GIVE HER A BREAK!! #BeKind
Today at 2:22 on 2/2/22 we signed the P&S on a place to move this guy back to #Boston with us. Feel so lucky. Here’s to all the adventures ahead - he’s one heck of a wingman. #DadsRule #ElderPower #LOVETHISGUY #NorthShore @ArchangelsMe
Not usually the school-pick-up-person. Or that’s how I’m rationalizing that I FORGOT TO PICK UP MY SON today. Or could be my #caregiver intensity is running HOT and I am FULL ON ‘in the Red’. Thank goodness he’s 15, resilient, and was not surprised. Cobbler’s son has no shoes.
'Dad! Your kidney’s are calling!!!!’ (Pantomiming I’m on phone w his kidneys) ‘They are really wanting some water!! Let’s get some water to them straightaway!!!’ After Dad drinks some water: 'OH they are SO THANKFUL!! They say THANK YOU!’ #weallcareaboutsomething #caregivinghack
At airport with most adorable dad who is NOT HAPPY about no wine on the plane… by chance found these at the newsstand…’Look! We can have wine! On our SOCKS!!’ #CaregivingHack

My super adorable dad is watching #EmilyInParis HAPPY AS A CLAM – but won't let me watch with him. He told me, it's 'not appropriate'. But I can hear him CRYING with laughter. #ironical Dang I love that man. What else should he watch? #caregiving #81andgoingstrong #Dads
That’s my dad. He’s awesome. Turns out his hips have been hurting while he walks - but I didn’t know that because COVID's made hanging out and causing trouble together a little more 'complicated'. THANKYOU @walmart for having this for him. We had a blast #SportsCar #Caregiving
Unpaid #caregivers are stuck in world’s worst game of double-dutch…trying to navigate returning to work and #caregiving. Employers - please help (as in PRETTY PLEASE). Our thoughts in yesterday’s @BostonGlobe: bostonglobe.com/2021/12/23/o…
