...Do you have the patience

....Do you have the EMPATHY

......DO You want What is Best for your loved one /or not.......

 

Do you call them Names??

**If so remember they are in THERE and they do hear........**

 

There are those that cannot deal with the /all faucets of caregiving.....\

Are you one of those people

/Loved ones?????????

I have written MANY posts re: the aspects of all there is to this and I know I have given my heart to this forum
I will continue for a bit longer but I have to say I think the time has come where I have served my purpose here

TRY reading some of the threads.........

I am NOT flaming anyone .............

i consider myself a good caregiver.... not perfect, but any mistakes i make are always because i want what is best for my partner.......i know i'm not dealing for an elderly parent as most are, but respect doesn't have an age limit and calling names or yelling is a plain and simple lack of respect in my eyes......the "golden rule" should always apply....

lyn i hope you reconsider your worth on this forum....i have learned alot from your posts......

Lyn, you have been there for me when I was dealing with my grandmother and you still are. I would sorely miss you if you were to leave. But if in the event you feel you must then know that my thoughts are with you.

Not everyone is meant to be a caregiver and when I knew that I just couldn't handle it anymore I knew that it was time to move my Gma out and give me a much needed rest you were there for me. Of course I never abused her, verbally or otherwise but I knew that I just couldn't handle it both mentally and physically anymore. You were there for me when I made that tough decision and helped much more then you can possibly know. Really, you shouldn't let one post upset you so. I know it's rough to read these things and not want to yell but we can not control the world - I know what it is that you are referring to. I couldn't get myself to respond because I was shocked.

If you feel the need to step away from HW, either permanently or temporarily I can take over the AZ forum for you if you wish. I don't know as much as you but I am willing to give it my best.
