I feel so much compassion for others that need some help but still want to be as independent as possible. I have integrity and honesty. I am willing to listen and be emphatic. I fell into being a caregiver when my first husband had a traumic brain injury and found that most spouses leave when this happens, from that time on I became a voice for the TBI persons. My 2nd husband became ill with lung cancer and back to the caregiver mode again. We were able to keep him alive for 3 and 1/2 years with stage 4 cancer because I was his advocate and medical Representative for those years. My most personal achievement came when I was working with disabled persons and was able to learn to communicate with a non verbal down syndrome lady and taught her family to do so also. I have a active finger print card, and CPR card.
