On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed in your caregiving role? You're not alone. As a caregiver myself, I've faced those panic moments too. Caring for an aging parent or frail spouse can put us on an emotional rollercoaster, even if we're strong! In this week’s episode of Eldercare Success, I get real about caregiver stress and anxiety. I'll share some practical and easy-to-use tools, that I even use to cope when things feel like they're getting out of my control or ability to cope. These simple techniques can help you tap into your inner strength and find some calm when you need it most. I'll also discuss when it makes sense to seek professional help, and times when an hour with a therapist only adds more stress. This is for all of us trying to balance caregiving with everything else on our plates. You don't have to struggle through this time alone and without support. I can’t wait for you to join me, Nancy May in this next episode of Eldercare Success.

The holidays often overwhelm us, caregivers, especially if we are the primary caregiver. As a result, we often forget or forgo our own wants and needs. In this episode of Eldercare Success , I give you several ways to tap into what YOU want and need -- physically and emotionally. And, no, it is not selfish at all. In fact, asking for what you want – from your parents, your family, medical, and other professionals, can help you find more strength to continue through the months and years ahead. It is too easy to fall into the trap of not asking for help or letting others know what you want and need. First, you will need to stop hiding or falling into the role of a victim. Strong, capable caregivers do not do that! The tips in this episode can be applied easily. So, give yourself an extra special gift this holiday season, and into the New Year, by learning how to ask for what you want and need. It’s easier than you might think.

For many of us, it becomes one of the most difficult transitions we'll go through in our caring journey, especially when we still have questions to ask, and things to learn. This is our 100th Episode of Eldercare Success and I wanted to mark this occasion with something special for you and for me, too. I wasn’t sure what, so I thought I could get some ideas from my own parents. Unfortunately, they’ve both passed on. But why give up so easily? So, I found an interesting special guest to help. She’s a spiritual medium who has her Master's in theology, serves as a Hospice chaplain, and is also a Death Doula (I wanted to cover all the bases). I think you might find this episode discussion especially interesting. It’s one in which I share some rather personal things with you, too. Let me know what you think about getting support from those you love who’ve since passed. Send me a note on the Eldercare Success podcast page ( https://EldercareSuccess.Live ). There’s a tab on the right side of the page that will take you to the option to write me a note or send me a personal voice message. I’m interested in hearing about your experiences and what your thoughts are on this episode (and the 99 others).

In this episode of Eldercare Success , I dive into how to help your parents adjust to change(s) without it becoming a stubborn battle of wills. Most of us know that change is a constant, and quite often necessary part of living. Yet sometimes we forget this when change becomes dramatic, such as when we see our parents or loved ones become older, trailer, or even infirm. Sometimes their own fears, especially if unshared, lead to misunderstandings and relationship-breaking points among family members. While your overall goal is to ensure their safety and well-being, helping them adjust can sometimes be frustrating for you and them. So, what do you do when you meet pigheaded resistance to needed change? Tune in to this next episode. Hopefully, it will make their lives and yours a bit easier! Key Points Include: Understanding their resistance, and yours Ways to build better relationships Addressing fear and understanding How to balance your own needs Episode links:: Eldercare Success Homepage : Share this link with your friends and other caregiver s Book: How to Survive 911 Medical Emergencies, Step-by-Step Before, During, After Free: File-of-Life Eldercare Success on YouTube CareManity website (currently under new construction) Host: Nancy May, Author of How to Survive 911 Medical Emergencies, Step-by-Step Before, During, After! is an expert in managing the path of step-by-step caring for aging parents, even from over 1200 miles away.

As Caregivers, we're all under tremendous pressure and sometimes that leads us to say things we regret. S#*-T happens and it can lead to short and long bouts of anger. However, anger doesn’t just happen, it grows from something small, lingers, takes over, and can blow up suddenly. Anger begets more anger. Sometimes the parents we love and care for get intensely angry at us. We get angry at them. Siblings get angry at us, and we back at them. The list can go on. Caring for an aging parent can take us all over the edge. In this episode, we dive into ways you can manage anger so that it doesn’t take you over, and hurt you, your family, your parents, or your career while caring for an aging loved one. Episode highlights: What’s psychosomatic medicine and how can it help you? Why most doctors don’t know how to help with your anger issues? Learn how many medical professionals get caught up in anger, and how this can impact you and your parents. How a toy saved one family’s anger How to recognize when anger is about to get the better part of you. Learn how to diffuse anger and reduce stress more easily.

In this episode of Eldercare Success, I tackle a common, yet overlooked, caregiving obstacle: the loss of family treasures. Whether it's an antique, jewelry, or a sentimental photo, these items often disappear. They can be accidentally misplaced and never found again, stolen, or taken by an antique dealer offering to pay cash for them – this was what happened in our case. Either way, the loss of a family treasure, can leave you angry, distraught, or frustrated in not understanding why, or how such a thing could happen. It should however prompt crucial questions. If an aging parent is caught in this type of situation, what do you do? Do you call the police, or care facility authorities? Confront suspicious members? Or take a different approach? This episode delves into the often-underestimated emotional impact of such losses, highlighting their role as potential red flags in our loved one's safety. It's more than a missing item; it's a signal you should take it seriously, and probe deeper into learning if your parents are truly safe on their own, or in their current living environment. Despite all this, there's a silver lining: resilience. It’s important to remember that true wealth isn't in possessions but in cherished memories and experiences - no matter how stressful or depressing the loss of family treasure is. There are additional tips and recommendations for all caregivers and families on how to manage this type of situation well. Caring for an aging, or elderly parent isn’t for sissies! Stay informed, stay strong. Keep following Eldercare Success.

In this inspiring episode, I dive into a journey of resilience, innovation, and tranquility with my guest, Jennnifer Fink . She not only cared for two aging parents with Alzheimer's, but she also knows how it's impacted three previous generations. When facing recurring waves of caregiving, a unique stress can arise that often goes unnoticed: it takes an emotional and mental toll on everyone, especially when Alzheimer's disease runs in the family. Jennifer has a unique way of managing anger and stress that was taught to her by a friend and colleague. She also shares how nature and crafts gave her the tools to meditate in a non-traditional way, while also being able to help others in her community. Episode highlights: Generational concerns of Alzheimer’s Anger management while caring Finding resilience in the arts How to make tough decisions when you can’t be physically present Preserving your own sanity when caring issues hit the fan Join me and Jennifer for a frank conversation about care struggles, healing, and finding calm after the storm. This episode offers a fresh perspective on managing stress and anger through alternative forms of meditation.

Listening to podcasts became a favorite way to learn new things while walking the dogs or doing household chores. After the death of her father in March 2017, dealing with and caring for her Mother became a much bigger part of her life. Looking at her favorite media in search of answers and not finding what she was looking for, Jennifer decided she would create a supportive podcast that caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients need and deserve. Jennifer is the daughter, granddaughter & great-granddaughter of women who suffered from Alzheimer’s or other cognitive impairment. Looking for answers on how not to become the fourth generation with this problem while also seeking ways to connect better with her Mom has led her on this interesting journey with her new passion, podcasting.

What are some of the most common unseen caregiver wounds, and how to understand PTSC? In this episode of Eldercare Success, I shed light on a less discussed but critically important topic: Post-Traumatic Stress for Caregivers (PTSC). While the conversation around PTSD become pretty much mainstream, PTSC remains in the shadows, often overlooked, even by family and those of us experiencing it. If you're caring for an aging parent, family member, or loved one, this is an episode you'll want to turn into and even refer back to over time. In this show, I explore the subtle signs of PTSC, many of which we too often dismiss or don't understand, or see that this could be happening to you too. There are also a number of simple, yet practical tips to help you start to dig out of this situation yourself. Or better yet, recognize if you're falling into this trap so you don't go further down the caregiver rabbit hole. Episode highlights: What is PTSC? How to recognize emotional traps The unspoken impact of PTSC Tips to dig out Join me in breaking the silence around Post-Traumatic Stress for Caregivers . Whether you're experiencing symptoms of PTSC, know someone who is, or work in caregiving or mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Share your stories, questions, and insights with us, because healing thrives in community.

What are “go-go,” “slow-go,” and “no-go” years, and which of these phases are your parents in? What happens when they can’t cover the cost of their own care and you need to step in financially? How can you create ways to protect their assets – at different stages in their lives - so they don’t become a financial liability for you, your siblings, or your own children? What’s safe and what’s not? There’s a lot that falls into the money bucket when we take over caring for our parents. Even if we have an extra $30,000/month to spend on their care, do we really want to risk our futures?

Eldercare Success
In this episode, I discuss what can result from being caught between our parents when each thinks the other is losing their marbles. What do you do when each says to you, confidentially, “Something seriously wrong with him (or her)”? Or even worse, one parent, out of fear or concern, unintentionally “gaslights” the other into thinking that they have cognitive issues, when it may be the other way around! This is an unnerving position when you’re just about to step in to care for your parents. It helps to know that there are more than just a few types of dementia to watch for. However, that can make our role as caregiver even more confusing. This stage of caregiving can get even more confusing when learning that not every type of Alzheimer’s results in memory loss. This early phase of family caregiving has some unlooked-for hurdles. Tune in to learn more.
