IMNSHO: The Top Ten Things NOT to say to a Caregiver
Scott, do you mind if I post it on my Facebook page? I have three other family members who are caregivers for the long term. A cousin had a brain tumor removed several years ago and then cared for her father when he was placed on 3 days a week dialysis He died last October at the age of 92. Her mother who has Alzheimer's for a number of years has been living with her also. She has had more than her share of trials over the last several years.

Another cousin is caring for her husband who has stage three lung cancer and her elderly parents. And my sister-in-law who is caring for her husband, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer which has since spread to his bones. He has also had COPD since a severe auto accident many years ago.

I'm sure they would appreciate these words of wisdom.
