Caregiver grief
So as a caregiver, we had two of our clients pass away this week and I know it hurts all of us. We become family. We take care of them, especially when the families are not around. One of my favorite people passed away at the beginning of this year. He was like a grandfather to me. I loved him so much and now to have two more pass away this week is heartbreaking. One was a 53-year-old man who had cancer and him and his kids grew up in the Kingwood community and the other one was the elderly lady that grew up in Kingwood as well wonderful wonderful person. She was so lovely. she was one of them, southern ladies that was like I'm fine. Bless your heart. Do you need anything and we're like no ma'am we're here to help you. I know it's part of the job, but it is hard and you get so close to these people.

Caregiving is a difficult job. I have been my wife's caregiver for 10 years.
 
Are you independent?

The care you provide is priceless to the patient and their family. We had a hospice caregiver who felt like family when my mom had end stage 4 cancer. Thank you for all you do! 💜💜
