"Kindness must start with oneself first, and then we can be kind, patient and loving with others." Laura Harvey As caregivers, we may have no one to be kind to us in our daily lives -- but ourselves. Our roles are often isolated. The person for whom we provide care is likely unable any longer to be kind toward us. I am continually struck by how in dementia the person folds in upon him/herself, so that he or she seems unable to perceive how it might be for someone else. So, it is all the more important that we are kind to ourselves. Not just for ourselves, but so that we can be kind to the person for whom we provide care.
