As my grandmother aged, she was given an option to move to a rehab or hire a caregiver; what strength does the children/grandchildren have to respond in such a way? Care giver was not taught to me, there were aspects and rules pertaining to the job that I had to look up myself but when I finally put it in action it was all there. Leadership at a very young age was my God given gift and within my leadership skills, I began to use it in my family. I moved back home and took care of my old aged grandmother whose strength has pretty much faded. \\"It's more painful when you kick out your granddaughter forgetting that she's your baby\\". That was it!!! Grandmother had dementia and schizophrenia which made it more worse but with love I stood by her side. With patience I handled her and with humility I comforted her. Bathing her she would cry, transferring her she would quiet herself until one night she said, \\"Favorite, before I leave, I want you to use your hands to take care of people my age or whoever needs it. If you do get the chance to, treat them like how you treated me. Love them like how you loved me and give them life through your touch. This is a never ending blessing for you.\\" Thank you Grandma for teaching me that blessings don't only come from the degrees that I receive nor money that I earn. A man once said, \\"What is the meaning if I have money and do not feel blessed?\\" Being a caregiver is really important because I am the companion of the patient. RN can do their work and leave, Dr.'s comes and checks and prescribes then leave, but a good caregiver is the key to the soul. A good caregiver deals with the largest percentage of sickness and plays along with options of how to calm when it comes. I believe that caregiver without LOVE is a waste of time; and without love caregivers will only be clanging cymbals!
