00:00So on Friday is National Caregiver's Day, so I thought I could get in front of it because I know
00:05so many of you want to know how you can best support someone who is a caregiver in your life.
00:11I was thinking about it, and instead of saying to the caregiver, if there's anything that I can do,
00:18please let me know, which is so kind and comes from such a loving place.
00:25Instead, why don't you think about a couple of things that you can do for them?
00:30Because it's really hard for the caregiver to come up with, like, what are those parameters?
00:35What are the boundaries?
00:37What are you willing to do?
00:38They don't want to feel like they're being a burden.
00:40So you let them know how you can show up for them.
00:44And it could be as simple as, I'll go get some groceries for you for the week, and I'll leave
00:49them at the door.
00:50Or I can come sit with your person for two hours while you go do whatever you want.
00:56You don't need to tell me.
00:57I can go pick your kids up and take them to dinner.
01:00I can go get your car washed, or I can go get your car serviced.
01:04I mean, think about it.
01:05Like, think about how you would want to be able to show up for a caregiver in your life
01:12and support them for National Caregiver's Day and for any day in the future.
