A poem for the weary hands of caregivers

I have been a part-time caregiver for my dad and full-time caregiver for my mother. Both are now deceased. My husband of 40 years now has Lewy Body Dementia. This is by far the hardest of the caregiving I have done. He was diagnosed 3 years ago and it is truly heartbreaking to see his daily struggle.

Hi Kim, Your lovely poem is so moving and poignant…obviously written by someone who has experienced the full range of emotions from the perspective of a caregiver.

Care and tenderness are among the most incredible forms of humanity. Thank you so much for sharing your innermost thoughts with us. Wish I could reach through the computer to give you a hug…

Kim. Please remember that you care share as much or as little as you choose. I like this site for that reason. You can PM if you choose. Hugs
