A Long Road

  1. "The time for the healing of the wounds has come.  The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come." Nelson Mandela

    As I have talked with other caregivers, it is almost universal that there is family contentiousness about the care and placement of the loved one receiving care.  I have certainly experienced the second-guessing, the criticism of necessary decisions along the way --- and the criticism has always come from people who are unwilling to help in any meaningful way.  I would like for all family members to know that the time for healing has come.  Let us assume that caregivers are doing the best they can under very difficult conditions.  Whether they take care of the person at home or choose to use a care facility, let us assume about one another that the decision made was the best possible under the conditions that exist.
