Cell Phone Minimalism. Decluttering Mom's Phone

Helping.Mom ·

2025/04/25

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) I think term "parental control" applies more to regulating your aging parent's cell phone, than your childrens'. Decluttering your mom's phone is like swatting mosquitos in Summer in Indiana--you gotta stay at it. It never stops. With her phone, you must delete apps, eliminate notifiers, and remove access to bank, financial & other accounts on regular basis. K.I.S.S. is the motto to maintain cell phone calmness. Get all apps to 1 screen, mimic her phon...

Slipping into Self-Pity (pt1). How to climb out (pt2)

Helping.Mom ·

2025/04/24

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) Self-pity is the self-dug grave of caregivers. Why Me, Woe is Me. I dont deserve this, I didnt ask for this. Why dont they, When will they... SP is worsened by our culture of selfishness, our online/on-phone isolation, and breakdown in family structures. SP focuses on what we are losing rather than gaining. But there are 6 things we can do to help, beginning with practicing self-kindness and remembering (and not straying far from our) our own strengths. Pl...

Wasted Words. Right use of Tongue in Caregiving

Helping.Mom ·

2025/04/23

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) Nothing is more untrue than, "Sticks & Stones may break bones, BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT US." Every pain I have suffered in life, and most I have inflicted on others, has been the result of words--hateful words, mean words, destructive words. Words that tear down, vs build. Today on helping.mom we talk about a different sub-set of words--what I call "Wasted Words." Words that may be true, but which nonetheless add no value to our caregiving--whic...

Mental Minimalism. What Caregivers must NOT think about

Helping.Mom ·

2025/04/22

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) What not to think about is the epitome of positive self-discipline. Think of the squirrel who loses half by thinking of all. The weight of wrong thinking submerges the caregiver, more than the doing of required tasks; our battles are more within than without. Mental minimalism is knowing what NOT to think about, so we can channel available energy, light & flow to care for others--while caring for ourself. Today Terry shares 7 things we must NOT think a...

2025/04/21

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) At helping.mom we also love dads! In fact, my hero is the man who does the hard, silent work of being dad, who daily stands by the stuff, with no appreciation. So, how do we love him? Who is he? How does he love us--in his own way? HOW can we better develop our own relationship with him?

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) "Meet the New Boss," Pete Townsend wrote, in classic 1971 song "Wont Get Fooled Again." Not sure which is greater--Roger Daltry's scream there, or my mom reading Jesus Christ here in Matthew 9:16-17. Jesus is the New Boss, and he is not like the Old Boss. He does not come to patch holes, or fill gaps. He is the cloth that covers. Take a listen today!

Do you know this man whom you call "sir?" Have you thought today what he is thinking about. Do you know what he has seen--in his own father, in this world, and what he sees in you?

Caregiver SEX is Best!, and Caregivers are HOT

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) Caregiver sex is best. I repeat--caregiver sex is best. 50s-60s caregivers are HOT. Very Hot! No periods. Soft skin. Real hugs. Tempered thru life experiences. Established. Fit. Physically desirous. Accessible. Did I say--No pads, No periods, no awkward moments, no "that time of months?!" Not huried. Deep character. Loving heart. Nothing to prove. Independent. Serious. Fun. Still hot in dresses. Wow! To quote Rod Stewart--you wear it well, a little o...

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) Widows are like homeless--we define them by what they DONT have. Forever they are labeled in sadness & want. We never hear a Cyndi Lauper song, "Widows, just want to have fun--un!" Teen boys scarce scan their father's mags for a widow centerfold. So, should I date a widow? Can I compete with a dead man? Am I marrying her for HIS money, or is she marrying me because he left her none? Will her kids accept me, or compare me? There is no recovery or healin...

He is first in time and place over his Creation--which includes evil, dominions, powers & principalities. By Him all is created, and for Him it continues to exist, including all matter and spirit.

Estate Guardians Stay out of Jail (unlike mafia bookies)

Helping.Mom ·

2025/04/11

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) The BLUF (bottom-line-up-front) to being an effective Estate Guardian for your mom is "DONT TOUCH THE MONEY!" Her assets are not your own. Dont blend them, steal them, share them, borrow from them or lend to them. Keep a meta-awareness of your actions at all time for/on her behalf, with one eye toward NY Times and the other eye toward God, the Court, and Team you create around her. Disciplined habits are critical, plus great, constant communications in all...

Medical Guardians play Accordion, like John Candy

Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam) Being the medical guardian for your parent is a sticky-wicket, of big picture + fine detail. Here we DO sweat the "small stuff," while trying to stay on the larger path of footsteps we take each day for our parent. Thankfully the pitch generated by our good intentions and best efforts remain the same, regardless the direction we move the bellows against the reeds inside our casing. WTH? Dont worry, this is accordion-speak. It'll make sense when you l...
