Meet Tiffany
"As a parent and a caregiver of a special needs child the day to day become consumed with their needs and your needs fall by the wayside."
She gets about 4 hours of sleep a night, due to the occurrence of her daughter's nocturnal seizures or less if there are other emergencies that arise. It's a go-go-go lifestyle. Most of the time she barely gets time for a shower or a meal in.
As a nurse, Nurse, Medical Assistant, and a Certified Nurse Assistant working full time outside of the home, it has been difficult caring for her children and meeting their needs, doctor's appointments, specialists, therapies and school, all while trying to balance her own needs as a single parent.
"I came home feeling like I was better prepared to take care of my daughter"
"We were reminded of how much we need to take care of ourselves and our marriage and have uninterrupted time to talk, sit across from each other and connect again as a couple"
