It is important to have 'me' time as a caregiver. Unfortunately I am in the situation where I have the two people with Alzheimer's (one in a home) and no other family here. Many of my friends have left Christchurch or are still working. I do have coffee with friends when they are available.
I am going to volunteer to teach reading to prisoners to enable them to read to their children. I feel passionate about this as research shows that children who read with their fathers significantly helps with their reading. It also means that I can feel as though I am doing something useful.
