You may be one of the vast number of caregivers. If not, you probably know someone who is. Certainly, the scourge of Alzheimer's has forced many people to drastically reorder their life in order to care for a loved one. If it's not Alzheimer's, it might be another prolonged and debilitating disease. It might be the result of an accident that has left a loved one in need of your constant care.
Caregivers are a precious, largely unheralded part of our society.
I've been speaking this month about anger. Sometimes age teaches us not to get upset about things. I remember a parishioner who told me that he got angry every autumn when the leaves fell and his yard had to be raked. He came to see that was a silly thing to get angry about. There are times when anger is more serious, but we can deal with it.
