Ahhh, there is not
enough time in the day. Ever thought that, or perhaps are living that over and
over? I am. Not sure how to balance family, friends, money, and time. Me too. This
is starting to sound like an infomercial for Making Care Easier, but even as a
founder, I forget that I can use our tool to ask for help.
It isn’t easy to ask for
help. And for some of you, I suspect you are in the same position – you don’t
even have time to ask for help or maybe it is easier just to do it yourself. And
that may be true in some situations. But, in emergency situations, having a
network you can reach out to and the system you can use saves time and lots of
headaches. Instead of sending 30 emails asking who can do this or that for mom
or dad, you can use Making Care Easier and our phone app too to send out one
note, get someone to sign up for doing it, and get the help you need.
The pain of setting up a
care team isn’t nearly as bad as suffering the pain of having not. If you have
friends who are living these situations every day like we do, please encourage
them to use our app. It is free to use because we lived the need. From caring
for a grandmother who is 91 (and picky if you read our blogs) to a father who
just had a heart attack at Christmas, we live what we preach, even if we need a
reminder every now and then too that asking for help is a good thing and we
hope we made it easier!
