@jimwills Welcome to Mayo Connect. Your words of experience sound as though they were hard won. My condolences for your loss. You did the best with what you were faced with, and I don't know if we can ever fully understand the value or hindrances of helping the way you did. What brings you to Mayo Connect?

I imagine what brings me here is the same thing that brings everyone. In those quiet moments we realize we are not alone. That there is an army of silent caregivers all around us. Quietly serving or trying to put life together again. When health was present we didn't know this job existed, when it came we slid into it before we knew it. I'm here to more fully join these unwanted, unasked for roles. My awareness of all of us gets larger every day. People who are caregivers are special, giving, unselfish humans. We'd rather not be here, but we are. Who wouldnt want to hang with these kind of people.
