Welcome, Caregivers

Real-life advice, resources, and caregiving tips from one daughter’s journey—for the people suddenly caring for the people who once cared for them.

An elderly man with glasses and a woman with dark hair are standing in front of a decorated Christmas tree, smiling for the photo. The man is holding a cane, and the woman is leaning on him, holding his hand. The scene is inside a living room with closed blinds on the windows.

I wasn’t prepared to go from Daughter to Caregiver

I’m Mitzie—a wife, mother, daughter, and now, a full-time family caregiver. Like many others, I was suddenly faced with the overwhelming responsibility of caring for my aging mother and found myself spending countless stressful hours Googling how to do it all.

Since stepping into this role, I’ve learned that there’s no manual for navigating the emotional, physical, and logistical challenges of elderly care, especially when you’re figuring it out as you go.

At The Caregiver’s Corner, I share real-life experiences, helpful caregiving tips, and practical resources for others caring for aging loved ones. Whether you’re just starting or deep in the journey, I hope this space brings clarity, comfort, and support.
