GB:
That’s one of the
things we’ve noticed
at our Fearless
Caregiver
Conferences over the
last ten years; the
best advice and
support and the
thing that opens
their eyes is their
time with their
fellow caregivers.
HE:
Yes, they are
involved with the
community.
They are not
isolated. It’s
like being in AA.
There are other
people with it. You
are not alone.
When there is
support, there’s
hope. It’s as
simple as that.
GB:If
you had one piece of
advice that you
would like to leave
family and
caregivers with,
what would that be?
HE:
At the risk of
sounding esoteric,
we only have two
real enemies in the
world and that’s
ignorance and fear.
That’s it. The
rest is ho-ha.
There’s no reason to
be ignorant about
the situation now.
There is no reason
to fear it.
Get help.
Simple.
