Tuesday 4 November at 4pm – 🎙️This talk will be recorded.
An informative and thought-provoking talk from award winning author Hazel Carter.
Being an unpaid carer for a loved one is one of the hardest and under respected jobs in the world, especially if that loved one has a terminal, or rapidly progressing, condition.
Hazel was working full-time and caring for her mum (who had vascular dementia) when her husband was told he had 6 months to 2 years to live. Caught between very different caring duties Hazel had to quickly work out priorities and find ways to cope.
Find out how Hazel managed to juggle the hectic world she found herself in, hear about the different things she did to look after herself, physically and mentally, and learn from the lessons she now shares with carers to help them avoid burnout.
Since becoming a widow in 2019, and publishing her book in 2023, Hazel has travelled around the UK delivering her various talks, educating and inspiring others.
Hazels book “Life’s good, it’s the disease that’s the problem” is a modern-day version of the film “Love Story”. Over 1350 copies have been purchased to date and Hazel is on target to raise £20,000 for her charities when the remaining 300 have sold.
Hazel won an Inspirational Author Award in 2023, is a Trustee on the board of the MND Association and donated a kidney to her brother 3 years ago.
