In Six Words, What’s a Caregiving Worry?
Jan 31 2013 in Six-Word Stories by Denise
Before caregiving, you thought you had worries.
Then caregiving comes and you think, “Why in the world did I waste my time worrying about such small stuff?”
The worries in caregiving can stop your heart and leave your breath-less. They can keep you up at night and take up time during your day. And, sometimes, you can feel like you’re the only who has these worries.
So, let’s keep company in our worries. Let’s share what we worry about and, for fun, do it in six words. Your worry may look like this:
I worry I’ll not know enough.
What if I no longer can?
Egos will derail what’s important.
What’s your six-word caregiving worry? Please share below in our comments section.

Am I doing enough?!

If you feel like your doing as much as you can, then don’t second guess yourself that can do more damage than forgetting to do something.

I worry I’m not good enough!
Richard said on February 2, 2013
Good enough is all in the eyes of oneself. No one else questions you, so why do you question yourself?

What if. What if! What if?
Richard said on February 2, 2013
I second that, What if? If you find the answer let me know.

It’s one moment at a time.

I’m not sure what to say….
The one above may not sound like a worry I added this one with a sigh….

Have I really forgiven? Should I?
Kathy said on February 2, 2013
I have learned that forgiveness isn’t for the other person, but more for setting our own self free from bitterness and negative feelings. Also doesn’t mean forget and continue, just move on with peace.
Richard said on February 2, 2013
What does the future hold? Help!!
@gail said on February 2, 2013
Hi Richard, thanks for the help! I guess I always wonder if my two high powered sisters wonder if I am doing well enough. And then? I doubt myself! Thanks for all the insights though! They’re great!

He’ll forget me and move on
