My Caregiving Companion | Webspace

A sanctuary of care, reflection, and quiet renewal for the caregiving journey.

About The Journal: The Path Behind the Pages

The Old Spiral Notebook

When my dad’s health declined after hospitalization, my role shifted overnight. I wasn’t prepared—but like so many caregivers, I showed up. An old spiral notebook borrowed from my dad’s desktop became my lifeline—first to track medications and appointments, then to make sense of the emotional terrain of caregiving.


After his death—and in the stillness of early pandemic days—I returned to its pages. Grief, exhaustion, love, and sorrow spilled out. Writing became catharsis, then clarity.


What began as a private journaling practice slowly became something more. I hadn’t set out to create a finished product—but as the pages accumulated, I began to sense they might serve others beyond myself. Then I came to understand the scope of the caregiving crisis. 


Answering the Call

More than 53 million caregivers in the U.S. support loved ones—or someone in their care—through illness, disability, dementia, and aging, often without preparation, pay, or relief.  


The toll is real: exhaustion, isolation, financial strain, and unspoken grief.


My call to respond eventually took shape as this journal. While it’s not a memoir in the traditional, linear sense, it is a hybrid: part guided journal, part personal narrative—an intentional blend of memoir and support tool. 


When I realized traditional publishing might take years, 

I chose to self-publish and make it readily accessible: a heartfelt offering for those who need it most.


May this journal—and the companion webspace that surrounds it—offer practical tools, soulful prompts, and space to gently reconnect, wherever you are in your caregiving journey.

“In offering something to others, I found something within myself.” — Beth

In Loving Memory

"Your love and wisdom continue to guide my path."

While I didn’t know it at the time, this journal was already taking shape in my heart during the everyday moments I spent caring for my dad. We didn’t need many words—his presence was steady, grounding, and in many ways, sacred.


Early on in this journey, I began writing in one of his old spiral notebooks, trying to make sense of what I was feeling. Those musings became something more. Over time, they slowly evolved into this journal.  


His love and wisdom still guide me, and it’s because of our journey together that this offering exists—for you, and for all the caregivers who give so much of themselves. 


Thank you, Dad. 💗
