Most caregivers today find it nearly impossible to take time for themselves.
Statistics prove that caregivers are more likely to have compromised health, shorter life spans, emotional and physical struggles, and lack the time to attend to their own needs. But there is hope!
Cindi Ferrini has lived as a caregiver for more than 33 years. In this interview, she offers some excellent tips on how she finds ways for what she calls “Me Time". She offers an incredible amount of resource information as well as encouragement how you can find “Me Time” as a caregiver.
Our interview includes subjects such as what to do with isolation, being creative, depression, learning to be flexible, and having a mindset on Jesus Christ for your hope and strength.
Cindi Ferrini has been married to Joe since 1979, and together they speak nationally with Family Life Today’s “Weekend to Remember.” They have three grown children and are grandparents to Jeremiah and Joshua.
