Having previously discussed the first two facets of the Sharegiver Solutions approach to family-member caregiving, today we will discuss the third: Networks. Our three primary networks, of enormous value: Family and friends; trusted professional experts; and the communal Mutual Aid Network. There is information, support and power represented by the almost 20 million family-member dementia caregivers in the US, and we are attempting to galvanize that lobby, and provide access and exchange among all these Sharegivers.
When faced with any challenging situation, and this being perhaps the most challenging, it is imperative to prepare and proceed with a strategy. In this “Share.Giving” podcast, David and Rob Stoller discuss the Sharegiver Solutions daily, weekly, and long-term blueprint for organizing and scheduling shared activities, as well as for time allocation and attention to the Sharegiver’s social and emotional needs.
Perhaps the most critical and over-arching area of the “Sharegivers” focus is that of “Mindset”, from the moment of receiving the Dementia diagnosis through the evolution of the disease along its inevitable course.

Beyond simply accepting the wholesale upheaval of one’s life, a Sharegiver’s mindset takes a proactive approach to facing the situation in a positive way (understanding there is no happy ending), determining to be the most effective caregiver one can be, while at the same time paying great attention to one’s own well-being, too often overshadowed by the needs of the Partner, and overlooked by the Sharegiver.
