There are various things which help/inspire/motivate us while we as Caregivers help our beloved fighting this battle
One of them for me is music, i always carry my ipod when am in hospital.
These days while my dads in hospital i listen to this particular song by Avril Lavigne - " keep holding on "
So i am sure there might be many such songs which some of you might be listening to motivate urselves so please post it here ...this might also help others ...

Lyrics of "Keep holding On "

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

That's a great song. Music helped me so much when I was going through the worst of it with my husband. It helped him as well. We had about an hour-long drive to the hospital 5 days a week for most of 14 weeks. We mostly used a CD of whales "talking" in the ocean (sort of a new age type of music that was supposed to be really soothing). That was all that my husband wanted to listen to for weeks. (We had originally bought it from a holistic veterinary practice as they have found it to be very soothing for dogs and cats and we'd used it when we traveled with our dogs). I was surprised at how soothing it was for both of us.
