127 Respite | Fresh Air For Caregivers

127 Respite | Fresh Air For Caregivers

The Oxford dictionary defines respite as "a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant". Respite care provides relief to caregivers of medically complex children.

This sounds simple and easy, but let's think through all of that. What does it mean to have a stranger in your home several days a week, caring for your vulnerable child? Initially, it looks like always making sure the laundry is put away and you have your bra on, keeping a vigilant eye on the care they are providing. Over time, if you are lucky, it might look like a new best friend, laughter, and play. Today, the girls sit down and talk about their experience with respite care.

"She was kind of like my life raft." -Suz
