Rosalynn Carter's Caregiver Legacy

You can also help caregivers. Text them. Take a plate of food to them. Offer to give them a break for an hour. Just say hello on the phone. A human voice goes a long way.

Caregivers are the strongest among us, but often forgotten. They can always use support and love, every day but especially around the holidays.

In Mrs. Carter’s memory this week be a bright torch for those caregivers who are weary and worried. Offer hope. Reach out to someone who may need a simple “How are you?” to keep hanging on another day.

And remember Mrs. Carter's words: 

“There are only four kinds of people in the world — those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
