It would be impossible to survive this journey without love, or kindness, or compassion.
I have held firm in this belief from the beginning. I now know how much love, kindness and compassion can buoy me in grief as well.
The fourth pillar of caregiving is respite.
Proper time for the carer to fuel and refuel is a positive necessity. I insisted on it for myself. Always.
I urge anyone embarking on the journey of care to honor the time for rest and restoration. If not for yourself [as you deserve], then so you will be refreshed in order to give better care to the one you love.
