The story...
" Shelley Sterling has just made a critical life decision
based on passion, not reason. Shelley spent a decade immersed in almost daily caring for her beloved, widowed mother, Vera Campbell. Last Dec. 2, 2011, Sterling’s journey as daughter and caregiver for her mother came to a sad end; Vera died. In the last year following her mothers passing, Shelley has been thinking a lot about t

his bond between aging seniors and the army of helpers, both informal and professional, who are essential in the last days of the lives of those elders. It has become a feeling Shelley can’t shake. The former ultra-successful sales executive now finds herself at a crossroads in her career. The office-equipment company she worked for since shut down its Burlington office last April, leaving Shelley looking for a new direction. And now she has found it – she will harness that passion she feels for the well-being of older Canadians and start her own friendly visiting business. It’s not the money, she says – she could be making a lot more going back to her previous career – but rather a new calling she feels. “ I just love seniors, and I can’t think of anything else more important than ensuring they get lots of love and care,” says Sterling. "

This has been SUCH a deep honor to be trusted with your Moms and Dads over the last three years. I truly know what a singing heart sounds like from this business inspired by my Mom, Vera.
I was just diagnosed with ALS/ Lou Gehrigs disease and feel this could start to compromise the safety of my clients,
so today is the last day of
Ask Vera’s Daughter- Friendly Visiting for Seniors.
No worries because I am not one bit worried! I read there are three things needed to heal from this “ terminal illness”
1- nutrition, 2- no toxins 3- a positive attitude. My friends are agreeing with my positive attitude and I know I am half way healed already ! xo Thank you for this excellent, memorable part of my journey – even got Winn in the 50th Christmas parade ! Whaaaaaaat ;)
Cheers Shelley xo

Many posting about the importance of simply listening.
My client was in hospital and as I was visiting, we were praising the nurse's care but realizing how busy they are. He said sometimes in the middle of the night he would wake and just want a Jello.- But he said, that's not an emergency for a nurse to add to her list.....
Here he had just fallen asleep and I wondered if he would enjoy what I had laid out on his table as he slept ... no doubt :) he called me that evening to say he got a "real chuckle out of the jello parade" :)
