My reasons for becoming a caregiver because I volunteered to care for my terminal cancer sisters(2) & my terminal cancer father. I cared for them in bathing them (sponge baths), giving their medicines, scheduling their meds, making soups, their special drinks, sweet porridge, changing their pampers as needed or if they preferred walking to bathroom, also changing their beds everyday. I also cared fir my mom whenever she would have her diarrhea accidents, she had colostomy illness. She had her provider but I substituted whenever I was needed. I never applied for caregiver services but volunteered only for my family. I was glad to have cared for my family members. Caring for someone dying of cancer is very heartbreaking especially if it's your family member. It broke my heart with my family. My satisfaction of caring for my family members is that I tried my best to make their painful dying days the most comfortable. My older sister told me that I was her bathing helper, that I should teach the nurses. We both laughed.
