Caregiver or Care Partner
Posted by: | CommentsMy husband has the greatest Care Parner, Kathy! As a gift I gave her a T shirt with the folloowing message on it. The message says everything that is in my heart and describes her to a “T”.
“SHE WITH HEALING HANDS”
“The heaing arts are so much more than needles, thermometers, scalpels, and drugs. It’s the touch of her hand … the tone of her voice… the silent prayers she says over each patient. In their most vulnerable hour she is there. Anyone who’s ever been there knows that all the medicine in the world is no match for the touch of her healing hands.
