I’m looking for stories about caregiving for the elderly for a book I’m putting together.

I need people who have been or are currently a caregiver for a family member or relative.

What I’m looking for in a story is one of the following:

- How you solved a problem you were having relating to the caregiving
- Benefits you think you got from being a caregiver in spite of the challenges
- Touching stories or tender moments that occurred
- Things you learned from being a caregiver
- Things that helped (or are helping) you get through the experience
- Anything from your experience that you think would help another caregiver get through the experience.

Anything you can contribute that would help a new caregiver become a better caregiver would be appreciated.

I have been a caregiver for 17 years now.You got to love being with older people.It not the same with a baby they need alot of care well almost like a baby.The last women I was with we laugh alot and some time we cry when she was in pain.I feel so bad for her and that the kind of love you got to have for them.They got to trust you be there friend that is what they want out of you.
