How to Help
I'm not a "people" person. I don't have the "caregiver gene" when it comes to people. Animals - Yes. People - No. But, when I recently had to become the personal caregiver for a loved one on their final journey, I TRIED to do it but realized it just isn't in me. That is when I found Hospice care. I was able to turn my loved one over to people who knew how to give her the personal care I just couldn't in those last few days and who made me realize it is OK that I couldn't do it. I was there for the emotional support, just not the physical. Sometimes "helping" is learning that you are not the one to do it and finding someone who can.
