  • Family and caregivers: Do you have any non-caregiver projects that bring balance to your life?

    ALS columnist and caregiver Kristin Neva recently wrote about a home landscaping project that gave her enjoyment because it was in contrast to her repetitive caregiving duties. She said:

    “As a caregiver, my work is repetitive and lasts only until Todd is hungry, or has another itch, or needs his nose suctioned one more time, or needs help in the bathroom again.

    The same goes for my housework … Day after day.

    But this project felt different. The physical exertion of shoveling gravel, hauling brick, and picking rocks energized me. And the sunshine was good for my soul.”

    Do you have any non-caregiver projects that bring balance to your life?
