  • Re: Care Giving

    Hi Avon,

    On Tuesday May 16 2023, Avon said to Vorlon:

    That's what a lot of people don't understand. It takes a lot for
    someone to dedicate 24/7 care. Even the care giver needs a break, as
    it's very phisical, and mental.

    I agree, and for the burden of care can sort of sneak up on people and
    then wallop them before they know what hit them.

    Yep.. I've known people that took on that task. At the end they all said it
    was rewarding to help a family member, but the downside was the toll it took
    on them as well.

    I'm very glad that my parents are still at home going along as they
    age. (74/75).

    :)

    Yeah.. Just minor thinigs as we all get older... %-(
