Let’s give thanks to our caregivers
November is a special month!
Because November is National Family Caregivers Month, I encourage you to reach out to any solo caregiver you may know. Maybe all they need is a friendly conversation that allows them to step outside their situation and share a laugh.
Or, maybe they need something more, such as changing a hard-to-reach lightbulb or picking up groceries.
Other ways to help include:
- If going to social events is challenging for them, offer to bring popcorn and drinks and watch a movie together at their home.
- If their car needs an oil change, offer to take care of it for them.
- Be observant and think outside the box.

Being a caregiver means facing stressful events, changes in symptoms, and other unexpected challenges. One of the best ways I’ve found to handle those moments is to have a good sense of humor. To learn more about that strategy, I recommend you read a previous column I wrote titled “Finding the Funny Moments in Caregiving.”
To all the care-givers around the world: We care-receivers appreciate you!
