‘Life After Caring’ explores the process of moving life forward again after having been a long term carer. The role of carer is isolating. Little by little the carer becomes cut off from the people and activities that once made up the fullness of their life as an individual. As the needs of the person being cared for increase, the carer’s life becomes correspondingly enmeshed in the life of the one they look after. This is exactly what happened to me. Now that my mother is no longer there and my work as carer has ended, I discover just how cut adrift from the life I once had I am. It is time to engage with the activities and work that I really love and which inspire me. I am ready to keep faith with life.

    S1E2 - Grieving Process

    Episode Notes

    At present, nobody is more acutely aware than I am of the vital importance of living every minute to the full. Life is here one minute and gone the next. Life happens in the present and none of us knows how long our access to the present is going to last. Nevertheless, sometimes sadness is simply a part of life — a part of the present. It needs to be undergone within the spectrum of life’s experiences, in which there are ups and downs, positives and negatives, yin and yang. 

    Today, society in the UK largely denies the existence of death and pushes it out into invisible corners. One difficulty I experience with processing grief is the isolation I feel around it. There are few opportunities for talking about how I feel. It is not an exciting topic to share with others the way dating or how to make progress on social media are.

    Episode Notes

    In this first episode, I describe how I became a carer and the inroads that fulfilling this role had on my life. Although I ceased being a carer eleven months ago, I still have not been able to take up the reins of my own life again in the way I would like to have done. A period of adjustment and grieving has been necessary.
