CAREGIVER GAUGE

                               
Gauge that measure the pressure,capacity,quantity and quality of a caregiver whether
in career or a caregiver to your own love ones, its really amazing to see those caregivers in
their regular routine and keeping the focus on the track,day by days,hour by hours,minute by
minutes and second by seconds,and not noticing the tiredness in their faces,they will always
smiles and if you ask,hows everything they just tell you in a simple phrase,I am fine or etc.
I was too a caregiver in career for a long period of time,and I know what they felt and whats
the hidden feelings, that a caregiver commonly had within their heart and mind ,that if you
just in fact,truly listen and sense what is it,is hard and tough,but if you think about it,its so
very hard for a caregiver,and the amazing to it is!they managed to smile and keep on paddling
towards the shore beside of all the hardship.imagine!they manage to surpass all the tough
challenges and they are still standing and not complaining.and this truly measured the inner
toughness of any caregiver to survive all of the challenges and keeping the way much more
smooth after all the pressure and tough challenges.

The very tough challenge,is when a caregiver step to the starting point,specially for
beginners,they'll be put into the test on how tough they are, by measuring their patience
to the highest point,and followed by all challenges like the stress,pressure,tight schedule,
changeable behavior of the patient an so on,in his stage the gauge will be showing some
sign of give up and sometimes,affect the personality of the caregiver mentally and rarely
some got into the point to give up,due to stress and all the challenges, and they prefer
to shift to another career,and for the caregiver that took care for their love ones,if they
unable to handle the challenges and decided to give up,and they hire a caregiver to be
with their love ones,but this,is always case to case basis,its always depend who the patient
is and what character that the patient has,and the condition of health.


This challenges is often, just on the starting point of care giving stages,this will
always measuring the gauge,such as the patience of the caregiver,handling all the
pressure and stress or in generally,as a whole,if the caregiver is tough enough to
overcome all this common challenges,it will be always easy to the next and final
stages,and it will always be easy for the caregiver to tackle all the challenges in
care giving, and always overcome it,just always understand the situation that you
are into and focus, where you are standing and make all the best for the patient,
in terms of medication,treatment and all other vital responsibility and obligation
as a caregiver.to outright it in general.

Just constantly understand,that care giving is not that easy,and be aware of what
will be the challenges, open your mind that, caregiver meaning in deep, and what the
caregiver, are feeling deeply and all the pressure that the caregiver are into, is common,
and its part of the task of job,caregiver must always be ready, and have a big place,
for patience,and always learn from what experience in first step, and bring it as a tool
for the next challenges,and it will slowly be smooth and all the stress and tough task
will be manageable for the caregiver,and in this case,if the caregiver is adjusted already,
even the tougher task or challenges,will be as easy to overcome like stress and other
related pressure in care giving task neither in all angle,being a care provider.


JUST LEARNING TO BALANCE IT ALL,AND BE CREATIVE TO CREATE
A SPACE FOR YOU AS CAREGIVER IN YOUR HEART,BE SENSITIVE
TO UNDERSTAND THE STATUS AND SITUATION OF THE PATIENT, WHEN
IT COMES TO CHALLENGES,PUT YOUR HEART A SHIELD TO PROTECT
YOU INNERMOST OR EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY TO OVERCOME ALL THE
HARD TASK AND CHALLENGES,
SITUATION IN CARE GIVING IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME,AS A CAREGIVER,
YOU MUST ALWAYS TO LEARN NEW THINGS AND KEEP IT WITH YOU
FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGES.

  BEHAVIOR OF PATIENTS IS ALWAYS NOT
THE SAME,AS A CAREGIVER, BE FLEXIBLE,CREATIVE AND KNOW THE
PATIENT CHARACTER,AND DO ALL THE BEST, TO BE CONNECTED TO
PATIENT, THEN AFTERWARDS, BUILD SLOWLY A GOOD CAREGIVER &
PATIENT RELATIONSHIP AS BEST OF FRIENDS,AND TOTALLY THE
RESULT WILL BE AS SMOOTH AS THE RIVER FLOW SILENTLY AND 
CONTINUOUSLY.


YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN GAUGE, AFTER ALL THE TOUGH
CHALLENGES AND HARDSHIP THAT YOU AS A CAREGIVER OVERCOME,
IF IN CASE, THE GAUGE IS POINTING TO HIGHEST LEVEL,YOU CAN PUT
IT TO NEUTRAL LEVEL TO EASE THE INNER FEELING THAT USUALLY
CAREGIVER FELT.AT ANYTIME.AT THIS STAGE,YOU ARE CONSIDERED,
A WELL TESTED CAREGIVER,IN ALL WAYS!     BY:J.LE




CAREGIVER MAKES THE DIFFERENCE


Caregiver in career or being the caregiver to your own father or mother neither

job or challenging responsibility, also task daily for caring your own love ones,
is a challenging and hard constantly, as we knew that care giving is not that easy,

but for people that being a caregiver for their love ones, is by choice,some 
chooses to be a caregiver for their love ones by their own different reason,

difference of being a caregiver,is not just being a caregiver in words or just
doing the responsibilities and all the task and that's it,its not only that,
being a caregiver is not that easy,doing all the hard works,having stress,measuring
patience to the maximum,and others, you often test your patience again and again until
you'll give up and pass the ball to someone. And say its enough!,being a caregiver,a
true caregiver,is measured deeply,within the heart of the caregiver,in a way on how he/she
handle's the patience into the highest point, and the way how he/she understand the stage
that he/she stands,there's a lot's of obstacle being a good caregiver,the obstacles that often
put the caregiver on the hole,such as stress,pressure,fatigued,and it involves in physical,
mentally,emotional,spiritual, this are all, as a caregiver must to put on the table,to be tested.
Its like a car,it'll not run if there's no gasoline filled on tank,in care-giving the patience is
the gas for the caregiver to continue in moving forward,

giving care for old patient is great and challenging role for the caregiver,hard of course
but the first and foremost for the caregiver to bear always in mind is,understanding the
situation what,how and why, the patient needed a caregiver or need the help for someone,
either because of their age or disabilities or other reasonable circumstances that put them
into that situation,first to considered is, and must fully understand is,the patient doesn't
wanted for someone to care for him/her or having someone giving all the help or assistance
in things that the patient is unable to do,its hard for the patient also as you the caregiver
felt,no one wanted to be disable,no one wanted to be sick,no one wanted to be assist in
waring your own shoes and all simple things that before you can do and suddenly all
of that simple and easy things took away from you and put you on the state of disabilities,
or due to old age,they unable to do things that they can do it alone before,think about it,
its hard for the patient isn't it?,both caregiver and patient is adjusting on the situation,
because of the patient feeling of anger,due to his/her situation they are irritable and
restless to be disturbing emotionally,not just for the caregiver but for the family as well,
the patient emotional state as well as the mental state, is in the shadow of anger and
prostration,because of the situation,as a caregiver,this will be a great and very challenging
task and role,the emotion,physical,mental state of the caregiver also are into the front
of the dark shadow of the patient,this will be testing the caregiver ability in all aspect.
As well as in all angles,on how to lift up the patient out of the dark shadow and bring
it to the sunshine that gives life and color to each and everyone of us.

Old patient,they need much attention and credit for all the effort that they done
in every treatment and understanding,as a caregiver, a widely understanding must
always be ready to serve and always prepared at all times,patience is the key and
understanding,with patience and understanding and responsible in all task also

be as great as the harvest season of fruits.then that's makes the difference.


In Care-giving,the key to make the difference is always the same,in all ages,
from baby to old or teen or even patient with disabilities,the important things
always is bring the key to open the door to enter their world and bring their
world back to where they belong mentally,and the development with the
