"Voluntary caregivers are compensated with gratitude alone -- and sometimes not even that. Author Singletary urges her readers to offer caregivers they know some time off to shop or exercise." Michelle Singletary, The Washington Post.
What a refreshing news article and piece of advice. Singletary recommends that instead of the usual New Year's resolution favoring self improvement, that people instead offer to give respite to someone who is providing caregiving -- so that they can have fun and meet some of their own needs. I heartily endorse this suggestion, and I hope you have someone in your life who provides you with this loving support.
