CAREGIVERS

BY : ELISABETH BABARCI

This is dedicated to everyone that is a caregiver for a loved one in need.

You are beyond strong.

I want you to take this moment to acknowledge what a blessing you are in their lives.

As you face daily challenges of the unknown and having to always wonder what might occur, you need to understand that you are the light in their lives. Your presence and your loved is deeply appreciated and valued by your loved one.

Even if you are unable to have that loved one in close proximity to you due to the state of their health, always let them know they are important, loved, valued, and that you are there for them. Your presence in their lives speaks volumes and gives them the strength to hold on and overcome their challenges that they are facing.

There are times that we feel that we are facing an uphill battle of insurmountable difficult elements however, with each time you are able to handle it to the best of your ability know that you are always advancing.

Our loved ones even though at this period of time can not communicate to us their appreciation, understand that they truly value you in their lives.

They are in a state of confusion, isolation from the known, their bodies are not operating as fast as they might like, however, with ease and grace always give them the encouragement and praise for what they can accomplish. Acknowledge their legacy as well. A part of them is in you, and know that they raised a wonderful individual.

Always ask for help and assistance when needed. At times, we feel that we can not ask for help however, help is available. You need to take time to focus on your health as well.

I want to give all caregivers the acknowledgement that they are important and vital in their loved ones lives and please know if the role was reversed, they would be by our side no matter what. Remember you are their advocate and voice and by you helping them in every capacity demonstrates the love and healing nature within you.
