Understanding before caregiving

Caregiver is a term used in the United States for people who take care of or care for the health of people in hospitals, elderly homes, who are suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer, or mental illnesses. It is a huge network, with physical and virtual addresses, that includes specialized magazines and journals, specialized clothing stores, ergonomically designed furniture, and several other amenities.

Cure, comes from the Latin word from cura which means “care, concern”; its synomym heal, from wholeness, which designates the whole, physical and spiritual completeness. Care, comes from the Old English word carian, cearian “to feel concern or interest”.

Care, then, means attention, zeal, and dedication to those who have fallen ill – physically, mentally, or spiritually – naturally involving encouragement, protection, and health recovery practices. Care is present in human life from cradle to tomb. All we have to do is to observe the several types of care provided in the course of a person’s life: pre-natal care, care at birth; care taken in raising children and adolescents; care not to expose entire populations to risky or hazardous situations; care not to contaminate waters, rivers, or polluting the air, the environment; care in keeping a family heirloom. So, care is associated with man as an individual and man in relation to his fellow men, to the environment, and to his own spirituality.

Plant Care – Reap Gratitude.
