Debra’s journey as a caregiver for her father lasted 4 years as she continued to work, flying coast to coast completing photography assignments and using self care as a means of survival to find balance and grace while staying creative.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, she wrote her first book about her experience as a caregiver and how she managed to navigate the treacherous waters using self care. She interviewed 7 additional caregivers using her tools as a visual artist in the same manner in which she creates visual stories – This is how she created her first book, Care 360° A Handbook for Caregiving to Your Parent. Debra and her husband currently live in Palm Springs California and work coast to coast. She is now in the process of writing her second book with the continued theme concerning end of life stories about Grief.
Self Care is not selfish. I repeat, Self Care is not selfish.
