If listening to podcasts is your kind of thing, we have a special short episode from our lovely Lynne, who is the Senior Family Support Development Officer here at Scottish Families who talks about all things Christmas.
Lynne chats to Rebecca (our Communications Development Officer) about planning for Christmas, worries, advice, and we also have some family members sharing what they are going to be doing for Christmas.
‘I think one of the top bits of advice is to make plans; plan ahead. Family members will talk a lot about how they’re waiting to see what happens. They’ll wait for this or that appointment or whatever, with regards to their loved one, but what we would encourage them to do is to make plans that suit you as a family member, not wait to see what your loved one is or isn’t doing. If you are doing that, the stress just builds and builds and you create these expectations of, maybe they can get it together for that one day and it’ll be a lovely day, and the reality is probably going to be quite different and quite difficult.’
This episode came out last year in 2021, but the information still stands and that’s why we are bringing it back for the second year in a row!
