Caregivers Need a Respite Too

Last week I was contacted by a woman whose mother was extremely ill.  Her brother and his wife who live in the area were the primary care givers, but really needed some help.  While there were neighbors who brought in some food, this couple found it nearly impossible to even get out to the grocery store for basic items.

I was all set to cook for their mom until I got an email stating that the mom had take a turn for the worse and that her days were few.  On Monday, I checked out the obituary section and found that this woman had died over the weekend...at a very young age of 58.  How sad.
