We can approach it as a despicable duty or a labor of love & joy. I refer to many other issues in other sections of my book. Best wishes Ellen Besso www.ellenbesso.com Hi Ryan: I agree, the frame of mind with which we approach caregiving can ‘make or break’ the experience. We can approach it as a despicable duty or a labor of love & joy.

I refer to many other issues in other sections of my book.

One of the things you left out of your article is the frame of mind one has when providing care to their family members. Most people think of elder care as the necessary decline for mom and dad and home care and/or assisted living as just another step in that decline. Part of what provides the energy to provide care and the clarity to develop a support network is the fundamental believe that your efforts can be a foundation for a whole lifetime of new memories. It is when this frame of mind is present that caregiving creates energy and goodness from a responsibility that 99% of the world falsely believes is a negative.
