When The Power Goes Off

by Linda J. Austin

A power outage can happen any time of the year and as caregivers we need to be prepared. Here are some things to do before and after the power goes off.

The Food Ritual

by Linda J. Austin

September, 1994, Atlanta, Georgia - a cheerful person plunked a tray on mom's bedside hospital table, then scurried from the room. To live, you must eat. Few of us want to face what comes when people stop eating. It is discouraging to make someone's favorite dish and see them eat only a few small bites. Mealtimes can become stressful for the caregiver and the patient. Each wants to please the other.
