Dining with Dignity Even When it Seems Impossible!

Dining with Dignity Even When it Seems Impossible) Come for dinner Wednesday night...BRING DINNER. 
2) Make us a pot of homemade soup (low salt, no cream, be specific).
3) Check with me before you go to the grocery store so I can add a few items.
4) Give the gift of home-delivered meals.
5) If you go out to eat, bring me a "people" bag.
6) Give a gift basket of staples such as tuna, peanut butter, pasta and sauces, cheese and crackers, dried fruit, herbal teas, bottled sparkling water.
7) Give gift certificates from local grocery store.
8) Take the kids out for an afternoon snack or early supper.
9) Come "sit" while I go out for lunch.
 
The above excerpt from that link has these very good gifts one can give to lighten the load of care givers.   My favorite of the list is number 5.  The basket of staples for those on special diets can also be a favorite.  If one cannot or does not feel comfortable in the actual care of a loved one showing support in the above list is a way to encourage the ones who are.
