MY STORY: This blog is being created as a way to process my ‘life experiences’ that lasted over four years with my husband Carl and as a place where you might be able to find peace and support not only through my story, but of those who may choose to share their own. I am not in the medical field, nor am I offering any medical advise in any capacity. I am simply a woman who is sharing events that happened to us after this ‘volcanic crack’ opened up in our lives. Due to the complex nature of medicine, the industries surrounding medical field, state laws and the human body, what has happened to me might be very different from what you’re going through, so do not rely on my experience to be your truth. If you are walking through some of the same issues, please research to find the answers that are right for you. Rely on what your own doctor and advisors suggest to enable you to move forward. If you need medical advice, consult with a licensed physician. If you are feeling a loss and/or are feeling overwhelmed, speak with your physician, church leadership or a good friend for a referral to a mental health professional because sometimes we just need to be heard.

​

INFORMATION ARTICLES: Because of where I’ve been, I’ve learned so much and I’ll be sharing it all right here to show you how and what I did to make it all work. These info pages are for general information purposes only and all of it on the site and any mobile app is provided in good faith, however we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any of the information.

​

SITE LINKS: There are three types of links you will see in our blog: AFFILIATE links – BLOG links – OUTSIDE NEWS AND INFORMATION links

AFFILIATE LINKS: These links will take you to products you might need. The majority are those we used ourselves so we stand by them. Reviews will be added for those products we purchased with our own money and used on a regular basis. If you click a product link and make a purchase, we might make a small referral commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us with expenses for running this blog so we thank you in advance.

​

BLOG LINKS: We might have a link to a different page in our own site that would give you better insight into information we found for you. These are simply there to help you navigate our site.

 

OUTSIDE LINKS: These links will take you to other information articles or news sites. For example, we are about to add a page with links to each state on how to find information pertaining to death certificates, saving you time at a very emotional moment in your life. 

 

MORE ABOUT OUTSIDE NEWS & INFORMATION LINKS: CareAfterICU.com is not responsible for the content of any site that is linked or any link that is found within that site. An example would be that some state run sites change things… actually they typically do, so if you find a link that doesn’t get you right to the correct topic, just flip us an email. We’ll investigate and correct anything necessary.

 

SENSITIVE MATERIAL: Throughout our blog you might see photos of Carl over the four years that might be difficult to view by some readers. We have no desire to upset anyone, so we are placing edited photos near the bottom of any given page and promise that you won’t see anything grisly or gruesome. 

 

KEEP IN TOUCH:  SUBSCRIBE to receive our news updates! Whether it’s a new story we’ve added or an announcement, you’ll be the first to know.

 

SPREAD THE WORD: If you’re on any social media sites, take our web address: www.CareAfterICU.com and paste it in a post to help us spread the word about this site. In a sentence or two, tell your friends and followers what we’re about.
