Who cares For the caregiver? Pained and weary But must deliver Quietly absorbing another’s pain Shouldering the weight Suffering the bane
Does anyone ask How you are feeling? Bring me this, don’t do that Can’t they see, you’re reeling? Tired from journeying Several times a day Waiting, watching Hurry up and stay
Observing from the perimeter Of the hospital room Nurses and doctors And aides, none of whom Will ask how you are, or anything they can do Can you come again at noon? There’s something you must do
It’s a thankless task You do out of love Your kindness unnoticed misplaced like a lost glove Excuses made Even when things are better A convenient punching bag tied down with a fetter
Paradise lost What was it worth? Forgotten dreams Fallen to earth Feeling used and abused but the words can never be said You are not the one sick But wishing you were the one dead
i have some caregivers really burn out and yet carry out because it is duty and love. these are the real silent warriors and heroes, a beautiful tribute to those who love unselfishly. really love this Christine

Thank you so much Gina. Those people are angels, or as you say, silent warriors. I really feel for them 😔
It is so sad. But then the people they are caring for, they haven’t much of a choice either. It’s a situation where a person can only go through with lot of grit and determination.

Yes, you are absolutely right Sadje. I think they are unsung heroes.
So many in that situation, so well portrayed.
Thank you Paul 🙂
most welcome
Caregivers suffer, often in silence, as you’ve pointed out. Who cares, indeed.

Ah, so true!
Sontrue! Caregiving is underrecognized and a hefty service.💗
Yes it is! 😢
So true. It’s mostly a back breaking and nerve stretching job. Being strong and selfless is the need.
I thought this might resonate with a few people. Thanks Sadje 🙂💕
I also think that the caregiver, specially the long term one has a very tough job.
Absolutely it is. I have seen it firsthand 😢
You are collecting a lot of brownie points.
I just feel so bad for these people. Bound by family ties and love yet moe than lily treated like a doormat

Absolutely right.
Truth!
Uh huh! 🙂😢
