I became a caregiver due to my mother-in-laws decline in health and ability to take care of herself. The rewards for doing so were endless. It was a joy to sitting with her and hearing the old stories of the family and her life. We loved to read together, go shopping, watch movies. My personal best achievement with her was being insistant with the doctors to find the root cause of her incontinence issues. They wanted to give her a pill, but we found she had a prolaps uterus and bladder. After her surgery, she had no more issues. Being persistant paid off for her well-being. Being a Christian woman, it is important to me to ensure that quality of life remains present at all ages.
