And the Critics Say ...

This is Peter Rosenberger. This is your caregiver minute in an emotional phone call a friend shared recent criticism she received while struggling to care for her husband already reeling from significant heartache resulting from her husband's condition, the scolding rocker. You should've done this, you should've done that all too many spectators of caregivers often feel empowered to offer advice to those shouldering the challenges of caregiving sometimes none. Caregivers bypass advice to go straight to criticizing. I suppose it saves time.

As a rule the best opinions to heat usually come from those possessing training and education relating to the impairment of your loved one. 35 years as a caregiver has taught me an additional the best counsel regarding your journey as a caregiver often comes from those with credible experience, there remains no shortage of opinions from those not doing the work.

Those criticisms if allowed can wound the soul of a caregiver struggling to do her best when tempted to allow critics to assess your value as a caregiver by job performance be fair and look at your attendance record you keep showing up to care. Critics who show up to judge. And I love this quote from Theodore Roosevelt. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly to heirs, who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds.

This is been your caregiver minute with Peter Rosenberger brought to you by standing with hope.
