How to Support the Patient's Family

Through my 30 years experience of the parkinsons disease, I feel that the below will help the patient's family:-

• Visit the family often. Ask how's the condition. This will boost the morale. By being there, the family won't feel isolated and lonely. Besides morale, the family will feel more intouch with outside world.
  
• If the patient is in the hospital visit them as soon as possible. It is important to let the family knows that you care .
  
• Listen to them .They always gets frustrated and distress.
  
• Help to take over a few simple chores such as paying bills or goes groccery shopping.
  
• Help out on everyday task such as pick up the kids from school or wash the dishes.

There is no monetary returns but it will lessen the family's burden.Life is just like a wheel. Today is their day and we don't know when is our turn.

God is Great and you will be rewarded.
