Your words" sometimes as a caretaker we don't get enough praise" hit a note with me this morning. I have a friend on the opposite coast who is caring for his wife with ALZ , so we are sharing our journey with our spouses. He sent me this email:
"Thank you. I bet you haven't heard that for a while."
Just a few words of encouragement sent out or received can change the trajectory of the day. I call my emails to friends in difficult situations my "atta boy/girl" notes.
