CAREGIVER APPRECIATION
March 3rd is Caregiver Appreciation Day. Please do something personally to honor the caregiver(s) in your life. When I went to the hospital to give birth to my son, I had no idea I would labor for 36 hours! It was scary and exhausting. I am told that at one point I left my body altogether. During that time nurses entered the room and, soothed by my (perceived) calm, felt free to share their own birthing stories. Apparently, I held hands, gave blessings, and dried tears as contractions pounded through my body. My BFF was there, watching the monitor in disbelief. When we spoke about it later, she expressed sheer amazement at the kindness and care I showed others in my time of distress. I don't remember ANY of this. All I remember is hospital staff ensuring I felt safe and keeping me supplied with ice chips. It was a powerful moment for me of giving and receiving care at the same time.
