Author of the tender, gritty, and uproariously funny book, Letters from Madelyn, Chronicles of a Caregiver, Elaine is passionate about helping caregivers manage their emotional stress and learn to care for themselves while caring for others.
Drawing on real-life experiences, her keynotes and workshops are unflinchingly honest and delightfully irreverent. Audiences are enchanted with the presentation style - part narrative, part one-woman play. Through the character of Madelyn they learn:
• In order to care for the aged, disabled, and chronically ill, a person must first learn to care for him/herself.
• Even in the very worst end of life situations, that there is still opportunity for mental and spiritual growth.
• As long as we have the ability to think and reason, we have the power to control our attitude toward any person, thing, or event.
