  • This video shows a short glimpse of 34+ years of care giving my profoundly disabled daughter Bree. It presents a typical day in our lives and the things I have done to keep my daughter healthy and happy.
    Thank you for viewing our story, I appreciate all of the love and support.
    If you would like to learn more about our story, I explain a lot in this video:
    • More Of The Story Q&A ...
    Bree passed away on January 5th, 2017. It was very peaceful and quick. It was kidney failure caused by her intestines backing up and closing the function of her kidneys. The 37 years that I got to spend with Bree were the best years of my life and I am so very grateful for this time and that I got to be her mom.
    • Bree's Slideshow
    My Tedx talk, which I was asked to do on the anniversary of her funeral (2018) is a explanation of what a gift Bree was in my life.

    You remind me of my mom, I was born with a brain defect, adhd, and a undetermined disability we still don’t have a name for. My mom was very active in my treatments such as special education and routine doctor’s visits to see what developments were made. I am 38 years old I can function on my own with a little assistance but I think I’ve come this far because my mom was dedicated to my success just like you and Bree ❤

    My mother passed away recently and now I’m taking care of my 45yo disabled brother with profound intellectual disability and autism. It’s hard work but I don’t know if I could be as awesome as you are. Your passion for Bree radiates. I’m just exhausted all the time.
    Edit to add: I’m so sorry for your loss.

    • @WendyGilker
      @WendyGilker  2 роки тому +9

      Yes it is challenging, yet just think that your brother wants to be wanted and love. You know I would always think, how would I want to be treated. If you can , I would look at the product ION - amazing results with autism. www.intelligenceofnature.com
      Just take it one day at a time. Yes you will feel exhausted yet and yes the hardest job yet stay in your heart. We are human and caregiving is the most stressful yet you can turn it around and make the situation the greatest blessing. My daughter was the greatest teacher I could of dreamed of. She made me better as I had to get healthier and be a better person to care for her. Yes I prayed and begged for guidance and help a lot. The constant worry about being able to keep food on the table and a roof does take a toll. Yet you have a very powerful purpose now, beyond what we can imagine. Ask for guidance and it will come at the perfect timing. You found this site - right, with all kinds of ideas. Bless you!!!

    this woman literally gave up her entire life to devote herself to her daughter and that's what makes her so amazing. she loves her daughter soooo much and knows all and everything about her. She has given up any social life, all finances, all of her time, her aspirations etc. as a mother without a child with this condition it's easy to say I don't think I could do it but deep down I know if I had to I would for my child no questions asked. 36 years is a long time to have to care for your child in the way most parents only have to do for a year or so takes ALOT OF strength. she's an amazing mother for sure.

      You dont stop taking care of your child after a year, Parents take care of their children until they're at least 18(if they don't have any special needs like this one), and then their job is done. But even after they turn 18 they will still take care of their child if they need it no matter what

      Harley Steele - it isn't rare at all. I've been an RN for over 25 yrs and my husband is a Paramedic. Not only do MANY families take care of disabled family members for years (often a second generation taking over) - but foster parents adopt moderately to severely handicapped children, as in more than once. They are truly incredible people to meet and work with.

      I think you're right. Because I disliked this at first since I really felt sorry for the mum that she lived like this for so long and for Bree that she is ill like that (if I was in that condition and had the choice, I honsetly would prefer to die). But then I turned my dislike into a like because of the inspirating spirit of that mum and her positive energie.

      oliviaLOVEShenry in Germany you don't have to fight for this. When you are sick or like cases like bree you get everything from the government to help you. Yes we have high taxes that everyone have to pay but it's for health and education. You got your legs broken and your child has Down Syndrom? Furthermore your other child wants to study on university? No problem. Government pays your hospital bill, helps you out with your sick child and university is free. Everything in our system concentrates on socialism and helping you out on health issues. And that's why you don't see many homeless people in Germany. If you can't afford a decent life you get helped by a program called Harzt 4. There is no chance that someone has to sell its house because medical treatment it too expensive. For me it's unbelievable.

    • @issmith3525
      @issmith3525 7 років тому +2

      even in Australia it's hard to get any access to this kind of help. my sister is special needs but because she doesn't come under the umbrella of autism we have no access to any form of help or sometimes fundamental carers. It's quite strange the lengths you have to go to if you're in these situations.

    • @oliviaLOVEShenry
      @oliviaLOVEShenry 7 років тому +16

      I have to disagree. A Mother's love knows know bounds and she is doing everything she can but her role is exhausting and her fight is relentless. We as a society should be caring for Wendy as she cares for Bree.

    • @orcashadow8989
      @orcashadow8989 7 років тому +2

      Thank you so much for this. It's appalling how little support the care givers get, and care givers need a lot of support.
      I was a caregiver for several years and worked with people very similar to Bree, some worse off, and there is not one day that isn't exhausting and a little scary at some point or another. It's mentally and emotionally draining knowing something could go wrong and someone could die at any moment, and every little thing you do matters drastically.
      People sugarcoat how hard it is to raise a child like Bree. This mom was totally honest and has a good head on her shoulders. Unfortunately she can't take care of her forever and at some point Bree will probably end up in a group home or with a relative perhaps. Where I worked, I can't tell you how rare it was that a family member came into the group home to visit one of the clients. It was so rare. Some parents can't handle it, it's a full time job, and for caregivers the pay is extremely little. It was near minimum wage for me and we did not get raises because the government kept cutting funds on us. Nobody wanted to work there. The job was tireless and it was difficult to get vacations, veeeeeeerrrry little pay and you would witness disturbing things there that many couldn't handle on a daily basis. As a result we were always so low on people, and it was common that new staff wouldn't make it past the 3rd month. They were literally hiring people off the street out of desperation, and this meant they were hiring a lot of bad people that didn't care for the clients, as well.
      So in the end the real victims become those with the disabilities. So it really is not selfish for a caregiver to ask for more support or pay. It is a draining job and the clients deserve and need the very best care.
      When people say "well the parent is just happy taking care of their child and that's all they need!" I dare you to do this work all day every day and see the sacrifices you make and what it can do to your physical and emotional health, not to mention your finances. Many don't love their family members that are in conditions like Bree and it's a terrible thing-- but those who are true family and care for them get fucked over no matter how much they love and take care of the disabled person.

    these nasty comments really make my heart sad. this mom is the perfect example of what a mother should be. i have 3 kids that have been special needs and now young adults. 2 of my kids are high functioning autistic and 1 with mental health issues. i've raised them on my own after their dad walked out in 2003. it's been rough, but it can be done. you keep doing you Wendy. you are an amazing mom. lots of other "moms" out there would have put their kids in a home.

      angela marsden having 3 children with minor mental health problems doesn't equate to having a girl or guy? idk that is physically almost crippled and has sever mental issues, I understand the quality of life but if it requires you to change the diaper of a almost grown human and treat them like a child when they're almost grown, isn't a great life worth living

      howto42 yeah, I can see how it could be exploitative, of course how she talks about her daughter and somewhat of how she seems to treat her could be that way, but there's a lot we don't know. Such as maybe she could be doing this to bring light to such a disability, for example, I didn't know they could crawl. I thought they were wheelchair bound. But she might be doing the best she can.

      +kunoichi lise Maybe if you have such problems, you shouldn't have so many pets.

    • @leesscribbles
      @leesscribbles 7 років тому +4

      TheMewMix​ I don't have a lot of pets. Just the fish and lizard. I have notes and reminders all around my house. I'm good with feeding my beardie and he's usually pretty happy. He sits with me daily while I go on my laptop and just chills. And because of when I feed my fish a lot I don't feed them large amounts at a time. And having them is more or less good for me because its basically practice for me to learn to remember stuff. With out that form of responsablility I would have a much harder time.

Its why now, people look to this god, purely out of fear because theyres nothing they can do themselfs. Not going to say believing in a god is a mental disorder, but it certainly is blinde.

    This is sad, but very wonderful that you still care for her and don't give up on her. I think that Bree is very lucky to have a mother that cares. Still, I feel quite bad in a way that you were not able to do the normal parent track. I hope the future is bright.

      I literally wrote that in the middle of the video. Now that I've seen the whole thing, I think she's even more wonderful. She should have a GoFundMe page.

    I have a sister that has C.P. they told us the same thing she would never live but she is in a wheelchair now and 15 years old they would never put her in normal a classes till we fought it and she is in honors classes smart as can be. She can talk to you on a full conversation. she's gorgeous the most beautiful thing.. yes we have to fight for her needs.. she just got potty trained the most amazing thing.. but she uses a walker, and her left hand turns in and she wears a brace at night to try to make it like normal hand.. ik how u feel it is very stressful u feel like no one understands and u r just always fighting

      Jordan Rooks, I work for an intermediate school district in my state and we try to mainstream special needs kids in their local school, even if it's for a half day and then we bus them to an ISD school for whatever therapy they need or other special services the school might offer.
