I WAS REALLY INTRIGUED BY YOUR BLOG. I WROTE A PAPER ON “WHO’S TAKING CARE OF THE CAREGIVER ” IN 1995 FOR MY BS PROGRAM.
I am a Caregiver!
My frail 81 year old mother lives with us, she had her aorta replaced five weeks ago. We have four children, two have severe physical, emotional and learning disabilities. Also, my wife is dying of stage four metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her liver, spine and both lungs.
I knew I earned my title of “Caregiver” when a cough, from another bedroom, woke me out of a deep sleep and I got to my son’s bedside exactly in time to catch vomit.
Phyllis – Ironically, I have not had time to read your blog due to stresses of being a caregiver and balancing work/ home issues!! I am sure you will be amused that just as I barracaded myself behind a door to catch up on emails, I started to read Verse 7 which applies to caregiving — at work and at home. Thanks for this very thoughtful piece, which came at just the right time. How clever of you to write a blog that deals with caregiving, but also applies to other issues of women caring — period. I will continue to read, and catch up on past entries as well. Thanks and best wishes to you (now back to my busy life, so I sign off!) Ellen
