DebJeffrey

Hello and welcome. My name is Deb Jeffrey, and the designs you’ll find here were created during a season of life I never expected — the years of caregiving. Over time I found myself helping my mother navigate Alzheimer’s disease, and later caring for my husband as he began living with Lewy Body dementia. Like many caregivers, I discovered that the journey is filled with long days, difficult decisions, and moments that stretch the heart in ways you never imagined. But I also learned something else. Caregivers survive on small things — a cup of coffee, a quiet moment of encouragement, a little humor in the middle of a hard day, and the reminder that we are not alone. Many of the designs in this shop were created with that spirit in mind. Some are lighthearted and a little funny. Some are meant to encourage. Some simply say the things caregivers rarely hear out loud. If you are a caregiver yourself, I hope something here makes you smile or reminds you that your work matters. And if you’re shopping for someone who is caring for a loved one, thank you for seeing them. Caregivers often do invisible work, and even the smallest gesture of appreciation can mean more than you know. You may also recognize the name Living with Lewy.net, a resource I created to offer hope, help, and humor to dementia caregivers navigating this complicated road. Wherever you are in your story, I’m glad you stopped by. — Deb
