HFC readers share comic relief |
|
Last month we celebrated laughter and asked readers to share what brings you comic relief. Thanks for sharing your beautiful nuggets with us! |
|
HFC reader, Shirley, shared with us, “Mom is in the early end stage of Alzheimer’s. She struggles with words (mixing her Finnish and English), and my understanding of the Finnish language is poor. When I ask her what a word means, she often giggles or laughs 'I don’t know!' and laughs again at the words she has created. That brings me relief, as those happy times are fewer and fewer now.” |
in case you missed it |
|
Like, totally to the max!Last month, Elizabeth Miller, Certified Caregiving Consultant and Founder of Happy Healthy Caregiver, taught us how to maximize local and online resources with great tips and nuggets to help make caregiving more manageable. |
