Questions and Discussion from Caregivers
Q: Do you have suggestions for reducing my elder friend's loneliness and anxiety over the phone?
I used to visit her to reduce panic attacks. I need ideas that work over the phone.
Q: How do you know when it is the right time to put your dad on hospice care?
His quality of life is zero, but personally have a difficult time “playing God” with my dad’s life- especially since he has never told us that he is ready to die. Has anyone been in this situation?
Q: Wedding in the time of Covid, happy but sad...
I thought it would provide one thing to be happy about in 2020, but realized I was left feeling more empty about what was missing. So, what was missing? First, a grand parent.
Q: Why does the caregiver get the worst side of the patient (mother) and everyone else gets the best side?
I am beating myself up for sometimes being hard on her but if she can be chipper with her friends she can be with me.
