Default What are the best things I can do for my caregiver?

He helps with everything around the house that I can't do and that's a lot. He holds me when I cry. He stays with me when I'm sad. He watches a DVD with me when I can't do anything else. What can I do for him?

If you are able, then give him some time off by sneding him on a fishing trip or a 'guys night out with his friends.

I send my wife on her week long cycling camps and it she tells me that it is very helpful.

Maybe you could out source some of the house hold duties.

My honey always asks me what he can do for me and I always say...be patient with me and just love me.

I too hold him and he holds me when I cry or am overwhelmed with all the tasks that need to be done but don't. Just continue to love him and tell him how much you appreciate all that he does.

Love him and appreciate him. It's all we need.
