Words of Support for Caregivers

A Little Help from Your Friends — and Strangers

Caregivers are those we depend on in times of need; when we’re ill and need a hand. But when you’re the caregiver, who do you turn to when you need a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, or a friend to listen? Whether it’s someone to remind you that you’re doing a good job, or a little advice on an impossible situation, caregivers need all the support they can find.

These words of guidance, support, and empathy come from Beliefnet readers who listened and responded to their fellow caregivers reaching out for someone they can lean on.
