SUPPORT
When I cared for my father and son, I thought I could do it all alone, but I soon realized the importance of Support. Whether it was leaning on friends for emotional strength, finding respite care for a break, or seeking out specialists who understood my son’s needs better than I did, accepting help was crucial. There’s no shame in asking for or offering support—it’s what makes caregiving sustainable. Over the years, I’ve made it my mission to be there for other caregivers, offering a listening ear, practical advice, or just reassurance that they’re doing enough, even on the hard days.
