Through my conversations with these caregivers, and the many - TopicsExpress



          

Through my conversations with these caregivers, and the many caregivers I have spoken with since, I became aware of the tremendous challenges they faced. Worried parents described their frustration trying to navigate dizzying legal and financial systems. Heartbroken spouses confided in me about how they struggled to comprehend that the hero they saw off to war would now require 24-hour care. Many caregivers were forced to take on family finances and legal matters. In addition, they performed basic medical procedures, sorted medication, identified emotional triggers, and provided the most basic daily tasks, including cooking, cleaning, dressing and bathing. Many will be serving in these roles for the rest of their lives.
