Becoming the caregiver for our loved ones can lead to many hours of self-reflection. Remembering the self-made cards we made for our mom on Mother’s Day. Rembember the hand imprints and the tissue flowers. As caregivers, sharing those memories with Mom may bring back pleasant memories. It is now our time to nurture, protect and be responsible for our parents. This requires the patience that Mom showed us. It is also necessary for us to take time for ourselves. Caregiving can be one of the most challenging and difficult jobs because most caregivers do not choose this job. We are chosen to protect and assist our loved ones. Caregiving is a time for you — the caregiver — to ask for support and assistance. It is very similar to the times when we asked Mom to help us tie our shoes, help us with a school project (which oftentimes she completed) or to share an important experience with us.
