#30 Loving lessons from a Caregiver

I learned that being with someone in pain, without being able to "fix it", is one of the hardest things to do. Just listening, just witnessing, just being there is often enough and mostly not valued for the challenge it truly is.
The last lesson in this series....I want to thank all of you for your interest and support. Looking forward to all my fellow caregivers sharing their lessons with all of us. This world is a richer place for the love we have deeply shared.


"And anytime he needs you,
You'll go running there like mad.
You're his girl and he's your feller,
And all the rest is talk."

lyrics from What's the use of wonderin'
by Rogers and Hammerstein

Hi Chris,
I've really enjoyed the daily lessons- reminders of why we're here- to love and support each other in this incredible journey.
Much love to you,
Libbie
