Weapon of the day: small moments can bring big wins. We don’t have to win academy awards to make someone’s life better. We just need small acts of kindness and support. #caregiver warrior #caregiver #dementia #smallacts

Weapon of the day: we all feel helplessness during our caregiving journey. I’m so sorry if you are feeling this. Please know you are doing everything humanly possible. You are not alone. #caregiver warrior #caregiver #helplessness #iseeyou #youarenotalone
Weapon of the day: our loved ones don’t need or want to be fixed by us. They just want to be heard, supported, loved. Bad days happen. Sometimes just being there is enough to help someone get through them. #caregiverwarrior #caregivers #dementia #ENDALZ
