Weapon of the day: if you take a break, take the break. Don’t multitask a break.

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Weapon of the day: today is a day when everything is running smoothly unlike yesterday when it was all a mess. Which is why you have to soldier on when it’s messy. One day at a time!

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Weapon of the day: share your troubles. Research shows that sharing them lightens the load. Caregiving is hard enough without suffering in silence.

Weapon of the day: even when I make the right choice it might not feel good. I may feel sad, angry or afraid. That’s ok. Right choices can carry weight.

So thankful for you! When we share our stories it’s so powerful. Just knowing we are in the room with someone else…🙏💜

Thanks for sharing this! Elizabeth and Roseann are both amazing Caregiver Warriors and we all appreciate you spreading the word to caregivers. Caregiving is so much easier when we don’t feel alone! 💜🙏

Weapon of the day: saying “I love you” rarely has a bad side effect. It’s the best medicine we can provide to our loved ones and to ourselves.
000
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Weapon of the day: While we can’t always fix our loved ones, we can always let them know they don’t have to face anything alone and that they are loved.
010
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Weapon of the day: to the caregivers who do all of the holding, please remember it’s ok to be held. You need it too.

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Weapon of the day: caregivers are always pushing the envelope. No one tells us there’s a box of them. And somehow, we keep pushing. Because we are superstars.
000
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Weapon of the day: We grieve the loss of our loved ones as they change in front of our eyes. Be present as often as you can. Tomorrow is not a given. Today is the gift.
000
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Weapon of the day: we get to choose what we take with us into every new day. Fear or faith, past or present, panic or possibilities.
011
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Weapon of the day: I made a great mistake yesterday. I learned a big lesson. Caregiving is a master class.
001
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Weapon of the day: caregiving can make us angry. We don’t have to fix the feeling, explain it, or feel bad about it. We can be fed up today and still believe we’ll figure it out tomorrow.
000
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Weapon of the day: don’t forget to pause today and open up your dream box. Caregiving doesn’t take away your dream box, it just helps you forget to open it. Don’t let it do that.
020
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Weapon of the day: Anxiety and depression are part of caregiving for so many of us. We need to name them. Talk about them. Share what we are feeling. We are not alone. Let’s not handle it alone.
011
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Weapon of the day: we don’t have to know everything to start. Learning along the way is one of the benefits. Who doesn’t want to be a smarter caregiver?
011
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Weapon of the day: it feels scary and foreign when we try new things. It’s astonishing how caregivers can adjust to new normals everyday even when it’s scary. Take a bow. You are amazing.
011
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Weapon of the day: save your energy for caregiving by sticking with the winners and showing the door to the losers. Get support not sabotage. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving
000
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Weapon of the day: be aware of how self-neglect sneaks up on you as a caregiver. It’s starts with little things. Catch it early and save the heartache.
010
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Weapon of the day: don’t forget that the stress and challenges you face every day as a caregiver would make most people run for the hills. But here you are.
021
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Weapon of the day: we might never know the impact we have on others. I still remember the babysitter that read Winnie the Pooh to me for the first time. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #caregiver #impact

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Weapon of the day: more will be revealed. We will know soon enough. Let’s concentrate on right now, right now.

Weapon of the day: put it on and let it go. One of my favorite quotes from Dolly. She was talking about makeup but we all know she was once again telling us how to get through it all with grace.

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Weapon of the day: don’t wait until it gets better. Make it better now. Breathe and reset.

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Weapon of the day: communicate. We are only as sick as our secrets. Say what you mean, mean what you say, just don’t say it mean.

The Realistic Caregiver's Weekly Roundup! August 13 – 19, 2026

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Weapon of the day: one of the hardest things for caregivers is the waiting. Waiting for results, waiting in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. You are not alone. I see you.
031
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Weapon of the day: We may not understand what someone is going through, but we can always listen. Sometimes, being heard can make a huge difference.
020
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Weapon of the day: feeling is healing. When we try to fix how we feel, we fight our feelings. Caregiving is hard. We are allowed to feel our way through it.

Weapon of the day: take the action, let go of the results! You have done what you can, now move on to the next right thing. Use your energy for the steps in front of you, not the ones behind you.
010
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Weapon of the day: just because we don’t know what’s coming doesn’t mean we can’t handle it. This is not our first rodeo.

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Weapon of the day: Even when our take feels right, those we care for may see it differently. There are two sides to every coin. Sometimes it really ‘pays’ to turn it over.
010
Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
Weapon of the day: On the rocky days, remember the smooth ones. Neither is permanent. Be kind to yourself. Tomorrow is another chance.

Weapon of the day: sometimes doing the next right thing is making a mistake. Mistakes teach us lessons and help us grow. And that’s often exactly right.

Weapon of the day: Acceptance takes time. The struggle is real. Be patient and gentle with yourself. Sometimes, being willing is enough. You’ll get there.

Susanne White @caregiverwarrior.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
Weapon of the day: when one door closes another one opens, but waiting in the hallway is the hard part. Take heart, Warrior. You’ve already rung the doorbell. It will open soon enough.
