This Song Could Be a Caregiver’s Anthem
by
Donna O’Donnell Figurski

I happened to hear this old hit song (“Lean on Me”) a couple of days ago. After listening to the lyrics, I realized it reflects what we caregivers do. We just want to help.

We don’t look this bad.
As the song implies, we give much-needed help. “Lean on Me” could be our anthem. Give it a listen.
PS. I just had to dance with this man to that song and we each did a bit of “leaning on.”

Most of you never had the chance to mourn the loss of the loved one you knew because you were too busy helping this “new” person fit in where your dreams for your loved one left off. Although we don’t always show it, your kindness, love, support, and acceptance are noticed and appreciated. Thank you for never giving up on us. You help us know we can continue. We may not have the words to use when we need them, but you will see it in our eyes, by a touch of the hand, or when we smile.
