The Fran Drescher Interview (Page 2 of 2)
An Interview with Fran Drescher
GB:
That's great advice for caregivers
because sometimes we get into that death
spiral and we don't realize there's also
joy, there's also laughter, there's also
life, there's also humor.
FD:
I am very sympathetic to caregivers. I
always acknowledge the person who is the
caregiver; how hard it is for them.
I always encourage them to ask for help.
There have been a lot of silver linings
that came out of the grief, and I think
it's important that everyone finds them
when you're in this situation. If you
don't get something from it all, it's
just a horror without any redeeming
quality. There's got to be some
kind of life lesson that we can all
learn from something like this when it
happens—learn something about ourselves
that can help us in our own lives.
GB:
What advice do you have for caregivers?
FD: I
think that the caregiver needs as much
caregiving to them as they are giving to
someone else, because there's nothing
left when you're holding someone up from
drowning. There's nothing left for
you. You need people who can help
you.
