💖 Welcome to Our Caregiver Support Circle—From One Caregiver to Another 💖 Hi everyone, and a truly heartfelt welcome to this new space. My name is claire and the reason this page exists is simple: I know what it’s like. Right now, my own father is 84, completely housebound with his Stage 4 Parkinson's, and his mobility has deteriorated dramatically over the last 12 months. As his younger daughter, it is incredibly hard to see a parent go through this. I know firsthand that this journey comes with so many emotions, with good days and bad days, and moments of real loss and grief mixed with love. That's why support, friendship, and reaching out to others in the same position is such a warm and necessary feeling. This isn't just another support group; it's a circle of people who get it without needing an explanation. This Circle is Built on Shared Strength I’ve created this space so we can stop feeling alone and start connecting. Here, we can exchange real-world advice, find a shoulder to lean on, and celebrate the small victories. Tell Me Your Story (And Why It Matters) I know your journey is unique, and that is its greatest power. I'm personally inviting you to share your own story and experiences as a caregiver. Whether you are caring for a parent, a spouse, a sibling, or a friend, your story belongs here. - Who are you caring for, and what are the day-to-day realities of your situation? - What is one thing about your loved one that always makes you smile? - In your experience, why is support and friendship so vital on this journey? Please take a moment to introduce yourself below. Your personal journey isn't just a story—it's the comfort and strength that will empower the rest of us. I'm looking forward to reading your introductions and sharing this journey with you. Thank you for being here.

🌿 Welcome to Care Givers Circle 🌿 Hello everyone, and thank you for being here and taking a look at my new page and space, My name is Claire, and caregiving has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent 12 years working in UK NHS hospitals, specialising in geriatric nursing and supporting elderly patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. After moving into the community, I built my own one-to-one home-care service, caring not only for elderly clients but supporting and guiding their entire families through the challenges of ageing, illness, and end-of-life transitions. But my experience isn’t only professional. I am also a caregiver for my own elderly parents — one of whom is living with stage 4 Parkinson’s. This personal journey has given me a deeper understanding of the emotional strain, the constant worry, the sleepless nights, and the fierce love that comes with caring for someone you hold dear. I created Care Givers Circle because no caregiver should ever feel alone. This is a warm, supportive space where we can share our stories, learn from one another, and build a community of strength and understanding. I would love for you to introduce yourself and share your caregiving experiences — only if you feel comfortable. Your story could help someone else feel seen, supported, and understood. 💛 Together, we can create a circle of compassion, courage, and connection. With warmth,Claire Founder, Care Givers Circle
