Island Treasures 'Treasure Chest' with Betsy Haddad
Another 'Island Treasures Treasure Chest' bonus episode. In this episode we revisit "A Musician's Daughter" Season 2 Episode 2, featuring Betsy Haddad.
At the time of the original episode Betsy's caregiving experience was a supportive role to her mom who was her dad's primary caregiver. Sadly, her dad passed away in 2022 from Alzheimer's Disease. Betsy provided great insights from observing her parent's situation throughout his disease and the resulting takeaways she shares in this episode.
Knowing what your wishes are for the future and being proactive with getting your care plans in place is one of the biggest messages, along with the benefits of incorporating music into caregiving and self-care. Betsy also reminds the listeners to remember to enjoy life... and laugh. So if you need encouragement as a caregiver and to start making your own advance care plan, this episode is for you.
