She is bed bound and most people had gave up on her for a while. In the mist of that, I w asked to be her care giver. I lost my husband last year. My husband has taught me anything is possible with help from God if we are open. So, now, I am helping to improve Quality of Life for the woman I take care of. Would you be open to possibility to improve Quality of Life for your loved one?kazumihttp://transformationalcaregiving.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029730304570358220.post-73991897715787342532012-03-29T14:21:13.246+02:002012-03-29T14:21:13.246+02:00My heart goes out to you.
