Many of you know this -but here is a reminder... You have been taking care of others for years. You have dropped everything to run over and take on an extra shift or stay a little longer when asked. You have counted your steps while working, but it has been way too long that you counted steps while walking in nature or with a friend in the neighborhood. You have worn your hero cape (especially since 2019) for so long, it is part of your daily routine. And even when the person you care for is not able to say it, your presence is seen and missed when you are not there. The thing is, you cannot forget that you also need to be cared for. This post is a reminder to please take care of you. Pour into yourself. Maybe even create an appointment on your phone to do something you enjoy, get restored in a way that best serves you. Nature, friendships, spiritually, read a book, dance to music or call a friend. Just find time for YOU.

My grandmother didn’t meet the standard definition of a “caregiver”, but I think she served as such. She met with the lonely and brought joy. She saw their needs and did her best to meet them. She freely sacrificed her time and gave them her love. She, like many caregivers, do not always receive the recognition they deserve. But they, as James wrote, live out “true religion.” “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” (James 1:27) Celebrate the caregivers in your life and remind them that they are serving God in all that they do for others

Beautiful - your grandmother sounds like she acted on the love she was blessed with. And now you carry on the same.

Hi Shanika, I took care of my mom, with help for other caregivers and my neice, for most of 10 years. It was a blessing, but hard. I love to see caregivers coming together.

Hello my caregiver family I have been a caregiver for about 23 years. I first started when I got my CNA license and worked in facility for many years. But for about 4 years I took care of my grandmother who have alzhimers. It's a great job. We help the families understand and get ready for the process of their loss. I love being a caregiver. It's one of the heart felt jobs out there. Much love and respect to my fellow caregiver.

Hi Sarah, I took care of my mom and dad their last years. Mom developed a type of temporary dementia after my dad passed. She came back to us luckily mentally. I know how hard it can be.
