Is Tiger and anonymous the same person? I got a private message from anonymous saying she closed her account. I hope she is ok.

elaine1962: I, too, got a private message from Tiger55's anonymous account, but I wasn't sure if it was Mikkimball so I didn't respond.

Yes, that is Tiger. I hope she will change her mind and come back. More importantly, I hope she is OK.

Tiger,
You did fit in here, on the AgingCare forum, but you left us.
Hoping you are feeling well, and that if you are in the U.S.,
have someone to celebrate Thanksgiving with and something to be grateful for.

So sorry that losing your Mom was so recent a loss for you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tiger55: I am very confused because after a tiring Thanksgiving, I see that this older message has been bumped up today. Concerned for your wellbeing. Are you okay? Hope you had a good Thanksgiving if you do celebrate it.

Lamalover,
Did not mean to cause you or others any confusion by posting a hello to Tiger55, who has left the forum and become Anonymous828521.

When people leave, they are still a part of the caregiver family. Often, they are reading, following along, and have considered returning but hesitate.
By reaching out after they are gone, some have returned to rejoin us, or to just say a hello and give a brief update.

Hello Anonymous 828521,

I liked the many and various answers on staying connected through volunteering.
We are all so unique. We all carry with us pain and experiences from the past that shaped who we are today...
I found volunteering to be of a tremendous benefit to the receivers as well as to us, the givers.
I have tried helping at a food bank,
assisting with office work, packing food for “Food A Thons” but it was not for me. It did not touch my heart...
I wanted to be with a real person for whom I can directly become a sunshine... ☀️🌈
My trying, brought me to an adult quadriplegic Center. Bringing flowers, listening to their feelings and thoughts, playing a domino game or a game with cards gave them, and me a good feeling of satisfaction. Giving joy to someone automatically uplifts my spirits.
I found my satisfying volunteering match which I still do for the last 15 years 🤗

As the answers on this forum indicated there are so many varied opportunities for each one of us in order to make a difference. Try different ones until your heart
feels “ at home”. 🏡
Stay as much connected, or as little connected as you are comfortable.
There is no wrong way to go about it. There is no formula. Be true to who you are and what you need.
As a Volunteer YOU are very valuable when you discover the right opportunity, which will be a win- win situation.

You have been a Caregiver for others. Now,
BE A CAREGIVER FOR YOURSELF
one step at a time.
Your guardian Angel is guiding you❣️
