Man from creation and birth has never been an Island, there has always been this symbiotic relationship or coexistence hence caring for other people appears to be a natural, brilliantly clear call that is essential to human existence. Having a deep sense of coexistence or mutualistic living will improve caring for others which will make the world a paradise. Furthermore, this sense will annihilate contempt, hate, violence, etc, and peace and love.
Have you played the role of caregiver or do you know someone who has put it into practice? Tell us about it.
Just as we have direct and indirect services, I've indirectly served as a caregiver earlier in my life. It was a fated task that came and it was impossible to say no or shy away from it hence, I embraced it with all the affection and tenderness that accompanied it. Truth be told, we are always at our very best when it is a matter of our relationship, a close person, or one dear to us.
My grandma was stricken with age and being hypertensive, paralysis was the resultant effect. Before the incident, she was helpless with her farm work as she was a well-known semi-commercial farmer hence, of all her 11 grandchildren I was the only one who could travel down to the village to help out. With time, I became her backbone, taking the lead in farming activities, it didn't take long for me to be nicknamed after her. This was where I got my agrarian expertise.
I very easy for me to cope owing to my high adaptability and conversance with these farming activities. While growing up I usually insisted on traveling home mostly during long vacations then I got kinda keen on farming activities and village lifestyle. Even when everyone thought and expected me to run back to the town, I was very resilient and hence derived joy helping to prolong our grandma's life by lifting a huge burden from her shoulders. Our produce fed the entire extensive family and for sales.
It was nice caring for my grandma and the greatest joy came from her display of deep appreciation of the care and assistance given to her. I could do anything or go anywhere for her because she drives out my every morale within me as well as my willingness and readiness to do more with her seemly display of gratitude. Although sometimes she tends to be annoying I don't take it to heart nor react to it, I take it as age-induced, and come to think of it, she is my granny.
Do you think that caring for a sick person should be a team effort or the work of a single person?
There is always a division of labor, everyone could contribute to the caring of a sick person. While someone could be physically present to attend to the needs of the sick person, others in one way or another, according to their various capacity could provide material things, food, money, and encouragement. In my case, at a point my mum retired home, the other of my siblings did all they could to ensure we lacked nothing and the farming business was sustained.
In that case, whether done collectively or singularly does not really matter, it's a question of how many are there. Notwithstanding, it is very advantageous when collective efforts are put in, it allows for improved efficiency and lessened workload.
What qualities do you think a caregiver should have?
This is a very important and interesting question, like the saying "a square peg for a square hole", to that effect the characteristics outlined below are prerequisites for a caregiver which is tailored to the exhibition of personal positive gestures.
Understanding of the thoughts, feelings, or emotional state of the person to whom care is given.
Must be willing to wait if necessary; not losing one's temper while handling them.
Should be endearing while talking to the care receiver.
Must be in time management and have outstanding accuracy when it comes to dealing with routines.
Must be pure and delicate from a sense of propriety to regard the care receiver.
What advice would you give to a person who is performing this role?
My advice to anyone performing the caregiver role isn't far-fetched. It is encompassed in the aforementioned prerequisites which form the footing for a caregiving role. Whatever the case or the circumstances surrounding this role may be, it must be done with compassion.
Most times, gratitude may not be shown while we are in this role nevertheless, we ought to be firmly loyal and unswerving. Nature itself has a way of rewarding everyone for everything, of course, "what goes around comes around". Consequently, we should have the capacity to tolerate the flaws that accompany this role and know that our reward is inescapable and inevitable.
The Bottom Line
The role of a caregiver is a beckon beyond the care receiver, it is extensive to humanity at large. The world would be an exciting place supposing we persist in caring for those in need of us. The world of care is a world of love, unity, and serenity.
