I sometimes think I could run a company with the negotiation and advocacy skills I learned while caring for my husband. It is amazing what we can accomplish. And our involvement does help banish some of the fear our loved ones experience because they know someone is in their corner looking out for them. I love being my husband's caregiver. He doesn't need me in the way he did but we still approach this as a team. Harry is a lucky man to have you caring for him.
All my best- Anita
