How to Support A Caregiver
websitebuilder • December 9, 2019
Caregivers share eight ways that you can reach out to someone in your life right now who is providing care for a relative or spouse. It can be hard to know what to say and how to help. Everyone feels unsure of how best to support those in a caregiving role.
These ideas range from offering to pick up groceries while you're doing your own errands to sending a text to let them know you're thinking of them. The important thing is to offer specific ways in which you can help instead of always asking an open ended question which requires the caregiver to come up with something you can help with.
Beloved Foundation exists to support caregivers of loved ones with cancer in their journey. Reach out

Alex Trebek, must loved host of Jeopardy!, has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Earlier this month he spoke candidly about how he has been doing since he diagnosis a year ago.

"I never think of you as someone who had cancer" was said to Liza Bernstein after multiple cancer diagnoses. Later, during her third experience with cancer, in a haze of exhaustion and despair, she realized that it was impossible for cancer not to be a part of her identity. She asked herself, "Why should I cower in the denial of my experience because it inconveniences others?" From that moment, Liza decided to use her experiences and her identity for good, to help others. And she has continued to do just that since that moment in time.
