People in need of care / family caregivers: How are things going for you?

Dear people in need of care, dear family caregivers,
how are things going for you right now? Do you feel comfortable here online? Are you finding enough practical patterns and suitable guidance to help you get through the day?
Caregiving can lead to social isolation, so I thought I’d start a thread for sharing experiences, if you’d like. 

Hi everyone 
I feel very comfortable here with you all. Unfortunately, I can’t crochet everything I’d like to, and it takes me a little longer, but I’m still doing my best!
I don’t just have osteoarthritis in my knees and fingers—unfortunately, I have a few other issues as well—but I don’t want to complain right now....... ;)
Thank you for creating this site.
Love, Corinna 

Yes, I have osteoarthritis all over, but also a worn-out spine, polyneuropathy, and nerve inflammation that has become chronic in my hip area. But thank goodness I have a very loving husband who takes great care of me and is always there for me.
My crafts—whether it’s knitting or sewing—have helped me get through many a gloomy hour. The inspiration I often get here is really great, and what I’ve liked about this place from the very beginning is the help and support everyone here receives.
But complaining doesn’t make things any better—on the contrary, it doesn’t change a thing ;-)

Love, Inge

I have a husband who now requires a great deal of care. Over time, you learn to cope with it. And, as Corinna and Inge have already written: Complaining doesn’t get you anywhere.
What helps me personally is knitting and crocheting. It’s also really nice to experience the friendly atmosphere in the forum. Things have gotten so bad on the internet. 


Warm regards and Merry Christmas, Petra 

Hello everyone, those affected and their loved ones,

I wish you all a wonderful and joyful holiday season despite everything.

Did you manage to get through Christmas okay?

 Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well and had a nice Christmas? Things are so-so!
Thank God I have a wonderful husband who supports me in everything and is my caregiver; my youngest son also calls every day to ask if everything’s okay with us???
I have to say, I’m really glad Christmas is finally over!!!
Best wishes, Corinna
