What do you complain about the most?
The caregiver’s journey is often lonely, depressing, and difficult.
A recent support group seminar served as a reminder that there is a lot for which to be grateful while caregiving.
The Caregiver Teleconnection program from WellMed Charitable Foundation focused on the Positive aspects of the journey.
For instance, I shared that I was grateful that my husband often shows appreciation.
I also am grateful that caring for Burt has taught me so much about him. I (to my chagrin) did not appreciate many of his best qualities while he was well. They have been revealed to me in the forge of our travels with Lewy.
The suggestion is to write down one good moment from our journey each day.
There is always something in seeing the glass half full that is cheering.
