Caregiver encouragement messages You're taking such good care of our dad. Sometimes it can feel like the work you do goes unnoticed. I see everything you're doing and want you to know what a good, kind person you are. Your love and sacrifices lighten the load of our family.
By telling someone it will all be better, can make them think they are blowing it out of proportion, or their role isn't a big deal. Instead, be realistic and honest, saying things like, “This sounds scary – I can´t imagine how you feel right now but I can tell that you are so strong. I admire that!”
Say this to show appreciation ``Thank you for what you are doing. It must be very challenging at times, but you keep forging ahead, and I admire you for that. I'd like to do X, Y or Z to support you.'' Or surprise a caregiver with a supportive card, gift certificate, present or anything that makes her feel appreciated.
Listen to their concerns without judgment or advice. It's the best way to let them know that you care about how they feel and that you want to help. Show understanding, empathy, and compassion for them as a caregiver and as a person. Be supportive by asking ``how can I help?'' or ``what do you need me to do?''
4 Steps to Take in an Emergency Situation for Caregivers Assess the situation (S.A.M.P.L.E.). Answer some questions to get a better understanding of the event, and so you can relay that to emergency rescue when they arrive. Call 911. Loosen any tight clothing. Comfort and communicate.
There's a quiet comfort knowing there are people like you who care so deeply. We are so grateful for the way you care for the person we love. Caregiving is hard work—physically and emotionally. Just want you to know that I see all the time you put in…and all the love, too.
