comfort ever can.

How you can do this too

If you or someone you love is in a similar situation, try this:

Be honest about what you can’t do alone anymore

 

Medication, cleaning, shopping, safety, transport, cooking, paperwork.

List what you can still offer

Listening, cooking, childcare, watering plants, receiving packages, companionship, repairs, teaching.

Look around you

Neighbors, local shop owners, friends—help is often closer than you think.

Propose fair exchanges

Don’t ask for rescue—offer mutual support.

Stay organized

Use a planner or calendar to keep everything clear.

 

Communicate openly
