Heard Lee Woodruff (wife of Bob Woodruff ABC news co-anchor) speak at Voices the other night. What an inspiring story!! She said three things that are important to not to say to a caregiver in the middle of crisis:
Don't say 'Call Me' - pray instead
Don't say What do you need - just find out from another friend and do it.
Don't say You have sure been through a lot this year - they don't need a reminder.

She shared an amazing story of love, devotion and faith.
