The Journey of a Caregiver

Caregiving may seem a bit off-topic to you on the Scribblings Blog, but it really isn’t. Greta and I both spent years caregiving our husbands. Emotions are amazing tools for a writer. For me, overwhelming emotions seemed to awaken my writer muse and allow me to release my feelings digitally into the world.

If any of you reading this are or have been caregivers, you know that you strive to hide your fears, your frustrations, your feelings of inadequacy from your loved one. They have enough with which to deal without your dumping on them. Ergo, the reason for the writings that emerged, especially when my husband's health deteriorated to where he was totally dependent on me.

The Journey of a Caregiver is a compilation of many, but not all my free verse during that time. After my husband passed, I was able to share this with a local hospice group to offer to other caregivers. I have made it free here on Sweet and Sassy Scribblers because I have learned that caregiving by and for loved ones is much more prevalent than one would imagine.

If you’re not a caregiver, it’s okay to download it anyway. *smile*  You can read it and offer it to someone you know who is currently taking care of a loved one.

It is available on our Well-being page in a PDF format.

I will read forever because it lets me visit in my mind the worlds that I will never be able to see; it helps me put away the stresses of the day and relax into the rhythm of the story before me; it lets me bring to the surface and experience without regrets those feelings I hide away; it lets me re-experience the thrill of first love through someone else's eyes; it keeps my mind juiced so that it will never desert me; it is always there for me even when there's no one else. I will read forever no matter whether it is print or digital because the words will always call to me. ~ A Sassy Scribbler
