7 Things | Asking for help as a medical mom

When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms - A podcast by Susan Geoghegan

  So many of us have people in our lives who love us. For that, we are so very grateful. In the chaos and chronicity of medical motherhood, how do we tap into that resource? Once we have moved beyond the infant stage, or the initial diagnosis, meal deliveries dry up. But just because the meal deliveries slow down or stop, doesn’t mean our loved ones don’t want to help. Sometimes, they just don’t know how. In the thick of things with daily life or hospital life, thinking through what we need is just another challenge.  Today, the girls sit down and make lists of seven things…When someone reaches out with an offer to help; but you don’t know what you need help with, this is your go-to. Prepare yourself with a list of seven ways in which help would be, well, helpful in your life. The next time someone offers to help, or you find it in yourself to ask, you will be prepared with specific examples. Join us!  “People are really good to jump in when poop hits the fan.” -Suz Here’s what you don’t want to miss: Hating to Ask Chronic Say this/not that 7 things Take the picture What would you add to your list of seven things??
