Some days are sad is the truth. These wonderful people I care for where not always disabled and reliant on myself or other people to care for them so everyday is not great for them.

Having someone feed them, change their depends or go to the grocery store for them feels like loosing their independence. As their caregiver sometimes my duties are just to listen as they cry about what they have lost. Their ability to take care of themselves like ,using the bathroom alone, standing up or taking a bath alone.

I try to remind my clients that they have worked hard their whole life and it is now my job to help them. I also remind them there is no shame in asking for help. To be honest I just love them through the bad day and reassure them tomorrow will be better.
