I appreciate your honesty and how ...Love this post. I appreciate your honesty and how you capture your vulnerability as someone who relies on others for their care. I wish more people would be this honest and forthcoming with their needs; not only to the world, but to their caregivers, laying out specifically what you need and why. I am a social worker and I've so often see how people with care needs get treated by the agencies providing the care. They must fit into the organization's convenience, not the other way around. That has to change. I've bookmarked your blog and will keep reading. I've just started blogging again after a 10 year hiatus if you want to check it out (https://disabilityrants.blogspot.ca).

I just just stumbled across your blog and I ...This! I just just stumbled across your blog and I found this post to be so honest, so well composed, so accurate in how it speaks to the caregiver dynamic. I should say that I do not experience being cared for firsthand- my partner is quadriplegic though and so I am surrounded by the dynamics every single day. I am a part of the dance, I guess you would say, and so I try to learn the steps so we can all move about together. I reflect a lot about what it would be like if I were the one in his situation- how would I handle all of those intimate moments working so closely with and relying on another? He handles it all with so much grace- it is humbling and it is part of why I love him so much. I would like to think I too would come from a place of grace, but even being on the periphery I can find myself at times feeling frustrated, annoyed, etc. But on the flip side I see and respect the beauty living in a space where you have to let go of some of the control we all think we have in life (but really don't). Anyway, I am babbling. I guess my point is we are all human and we all have a different way of moving about in the world. Just wanted to say I love this post and also, your letter to your caregivers is inspiring. Lastly, I write a little bit about some of this kind of stuff on my blog so feel free to check it out! https://poorhouseloveblog.wordpress.com Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287942833314297300.post-44481707348185366622017-09-25T19:21:48.063-05:002017-09-25T19:21:48.063-05:00Thank you so much for this.
