“The artist prays by creating.” ~ Flannery O’Connor
Elder care is good work. It can be hard work. It can be emotional work. It can take energy you might not have. The one thing it is not is a waste of time. Ask anyone who has ever cared for an aging parent, and they will tell you it is the most fulfilling work you will ever do. I concur. I’m not great at it, though. I have to make myself notes all the time because I don’t even remember to get my own meds, let alone somebody else’s. Whatever it takes, I guess.
