"I am sure that there is much that we can learn and forgive due to the ongoing state of gradual evolving wisdom we amass on this journey of unexpected change and readjustment." Herracia Brewer Wow, what a lot in one sentence. Yes, there is much we can learn and forgive in our lifetimes because we access wisdom because of the unexpected changes and readjustments life causes us to make. The quote may sum up what life is all about. What does that have to do with caregiving? None of us expected to be caregiving someone -- so that is very much an unexpected change in our lives which causes us to adjust what we are doing and what we thought our life was all about. In that process of adjusting, perhaps there are things to forgive and certainly there are things to learn. Yesterday I learned from a friend who is an OT (occupational therapist) that there are trays that can be put on wheelchairs to prevent people from falling out of them. I am grateful for all the wisdom that abounds to help us with the task of caregiving.
