Caregiver wellbeing, care coordination, and meaningful support must remain central to the future of veteran care.
Today’s conversation with @SecVetAffairs reinforces the value of listening to families who carry the mission at home.
“What you are doing here matters.”
#Caregiving is filled with “Big Emotions.”
Some days are filled with gratitude, creativity, & purpose. Other days may feel heavy or overwhelming.
Both are valid & part of the caregiving journey, each emotion carrying meaning, value, and purpose.
