@caregiving Forgive yourself for all of the things you will not be able to do. Caregiving is hard, and you cannot always fix whatever today's challenge may be.
Timed for the start of #WorldFTDAwarenessWeek2021, AFTD ran a full-page awareness ad in today's edition of the @nytimes. Thanks to a generous donor, and #AFTDvolunteer & designer Jody Zorn, we continue to make more people aware of #FTD: the most common form of #DementiaUnder60.
I think people think having an end of life conversation is only sad. But, itโs not. Sometimes itโs hope, itโs laughter, grace, humility, respect, joy, gratitude and an occasional comedically timed F-bomb
Today, it was all of those things. With just the right amount of F-bombs
@seanofthesouth1 beautifully captures the mix of profound purpose and brutal grind that is caregiving. I want to be reminded of his writing about it every year on this day.
Caregivers, we see you. โค๏ธ
Happy National Caregivers Day.
