Big hugs, Carolyn Malone . Thank you for writing this article for us, caregivers. I see you, my friend. xo

I've read a few pieces recently where people are telling us what we 'should' be doing, giving us solutions or fix-it ideas. They feel like pointy fingers or cookie-cutter instructions from critics on the outside. So it's good to read your piece. Figuring out our personal "bare minimum survival" needs, like yours, is a really great place to start.

It's so good to see it resonating and enabling readers to share their experiences. Thanks, Carolyn.
