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.”

[Elizabeth Dole Foundation @DoleFoundation]

#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.

Don’t let your spirits fall, don’t cast your eyes downward today and and say, ‘there goes one of the last good ones.’ Do what he would do and raise them up, believe in the promise of this country and the goodness of its people." - @SavannahGuthrie
