I thank you for your efforts- you have been an encourgement to me. I am a nurse in a nursing facility and am also a caregiver for my mom. I have printed out exerpts of your writings and posted them on the staff bulletin board to encourage them. Also, have used your thoughts and perspective in working with family members. Thank you again

What you say here is absdolutely correct. Its easy to download frustration and anger on a caregiver. My mom was very mean to me yesterday i was feeling bery depressed but after reading this I know what its like.

Love manifests itself in many ways, and this is a wonderful example as to why we shouldn’t judge others or their situation.
Her love and acceptance of her dad’s situation was that of honor and respect. She was at peace and allowed him the dignity he needed.

Loving someone isn’t giving them what we need. It’s giving them what they need.
