Clearly you know the value of taking away some of the stress load and one of the best ways of doing this. We caregivers, as a group, tend to slowly become isolated and having friends and family who can do what you have done is one of the best aids there is! Thank you so much for your acknowledgement to the caregivers you know. That’s so wonderful, Rena!

Another thing we've done for caregivers is to bring a batch of our DVD movies for them to borrow, along with a big container of homemade soup or casserole plus a loaf of bakery bread, once every week or two. I think that letting a caregiver to know that she/he isn't forgotten, and that friends are coming by regularly with homemade dinner and another batch of movies is a simple, easy way to say "thank you" and "hang in there". Hugs to you and your mom. Thank you for writing this post, Patricia.

Good luck! Ruthie, you make a good point. Sometimes it is not possible to take even a few minutes for retrospection, but maybe you should consider that you actually don't "have it figured out." Is that even possible? As you say, life does send us curve balls, but it's not impossible to get your feet back under you even if the ball knocks you to the ground. I know. I get targeted by those curve balls all the time. Hang in there and get help when you can. Marsha, sounds like you guys have a lot to consider with such a big change. Good luck!

I get a curve ball. So really, the whole thing just has a bad habit of NOT working for me!
