During Caregiving, They Defer While You Do It

from Caregiving Comforts Hosted by Denise M. Brown

There's a word your family uses when they want to sound supportive. Defer. "We defer to you." "Whatever you think is best." "We know you've got it covered." That's not support. That's a load — handed to you, wrapped in a compliment. You can defer, too.This week on Caregiving Comforts, we're talking about how to hand something back and what to have ready if they don't show up.
