Caregivingly Yours
A site belonging to longtime spousal caregiver, Patrick Leer.
"...A parent caring for a child paints with more shades of dreams. An 'adult child’ caring for a parent paints with more hues of memories. A long term spousal caregiver paints a canvas where the years spent caring dwarf the years spent sharing. ..."
" caregiving is a CHOICE; the person you are caring for has NO choice to be ill or disabled. You will always be separated by that reality. Choice motivates and can haunt".
