CAREGIVER SACRIFICE

When we say sacrifice, there will be a lot of meaning,what sacrifices that we are sure to sacrifices. Choices often miss understood and sometimes lead to mistake,of what we intend to sacrifice,meaning of such word SACRIFICE is always around the corner of all living things,
specially to us human. we can see the example of bird during winter time,rainy season or such situation that risk the mother bird life to look for a food for all of her baby birds because of the

love and concern,she will take the risk no matter how risky is,the mother bird will give all her best to sacrifice for all the baby birds she loves. Effort sometime failed,because not all bird will survive. sacrifices will be resulting to unworthy but the important thing!she did all her best. this is the facts that we must to accept,that not all effort and sacrifices is successful and worth it. even though all the best of any persons sacrifices, each one has their own reason why they're willing to sacrifice for someone they loved and cared, inevitably sometimes not worth
sacrificing,i will first and foremost drop the not worth sacrificing. Not worth sacrificing is often more painful and much complicated in a reason that,some people sacrifice & not been really done it in a right way for the person that they sacrificing, & not worthy of, to receive the sacrifice,they don’t mind either the value of it and to acknowledge it in a whole heart way,but we can't blame those people did the mistake,because is not the mistake of the one that gave the sacrifice, but the one that not worthy to receive it. unintentionally made or intentionally, just being unaware to who the receiver is, if its worthy to receive it or not. All of us did or few of us didn't experience it. as we are diving deeper in our topic,you can ask yourself now what I am pointing out about,you either think that it doesn't make any sense at all,well. its not that simple to accept the facts that sometimes we sacrifice and unworthy unfortunately,but I am not saying that we must beware to sacrifice and not to trust the receiver, it just happen sometimes because not all are that good. as there is a saying that there’s a lot of fish in the ocean. Means, various characters and some are good and unfortunately some are bad and not worthy at all. is sad to say that some people that gave their sacrifices sometimes resulting to
a wasted effort.
We now enter to the world of caregiver that often made a lot of sacrifices in their daily basis life cycle as a caregiver in career. care giving it involve a lot of stress and often lead to illness if not properly manage all the stresses & problems. The sacrifices of a caregiver can't be seen, but possibly sense and just truly understand how hard it is, caregiver job or taking care of your love ones is also a care giving,not in career but doing it for your love one that needed constantly care such as medication and all treatment that involved in taking care for a patient or member of the family whether a disabled,sick or old etc.
that incapable of being alone to do all the daily task,and whether young or old they need often someone to be there to take care of them and watch their needs in general. like if one of the member of the family that unlucky due to various illness, they need a caregiver,whether you will hire a caregiver or you will do it yourself to take care for your love ones,sometimes few family preferred to take care of their own family member with disabilities or grandpa & grandma due to their old age their mobility is limited and sick, also if one of the member of the family has various health problem that involve for often attention.

if you ask a caregiver,one thing they will always answer, isn't that easy & the family of the patient can truly understand that logic,specially if they once also been into the situation being a caregiver for their love ones. sometimes some doesn't understand it,they always just do it just for the sake of treatment and medication and that’s fine for them,the important for them is that, they gave what is needed,the truth is no. patient with illness always need an attention and inner strength to let the patient combat all illnesses and whatsoever their situation. As a caregiver, is not just being paid for the services to be there for the patient at all time but to give all the best in inner encouragement to help the patient to be strong and overcome all the hardship,with the help of the caregiver, As a caregiver,always bear in mind that it not just doing your responsibilities and that’s enough,the patient needed much care than we think,the first thing that a caregiver must comply is to let the flow naturally by giving such wonderful care that the patient can inner feel the care that they deserve to. In care giving, the most important task that you made is providing inner strength and encouragement for the patient to move on and overcome all the hardship,in fact if we just understand and put our self in their situation and intuitively we understand how hard it is,that’s why some time few of patient is irritable and angry of their situation,this sign is naturally human and not to be discourage but to make it as a challenges as part of the job as a care provider the caregiver in this case,must wisely be flexible and to think the best possible way's to gain the patient trust and allow the treatment such as mentally,physically, emotionally and psychologically as well as medical treatment,all this mention must be balance for it is good for the patient rapid recovery and it helps a lot to overcome such illnesses or whatsoever the situation that a patient into. and that’s the time as a caregiver,you will slowly push the courage into the patient heart to help the patient to forget all the hardship and illness that bother the patient and combat it to overcome it and to move on as a normal person without illness psychologically. Because psychologically if the patient always think negatively due to his/her situation, it is not good for the patient health because anxiety allows the negative aspect's resulting to unhealthy living to anybody and it is always the reason why some doesn't know how they got the illnesses and how or what is the cause. Usually if a patient is anxious and problematic of his/her situation or being angry of his/her situation, the result will be annoying and it is not good for the health of the patient,so as a caregiver you can always divert it into a positive thinking by teaching the patient how to live a normal life not bothering the situation that he/she is actually into,always encourage the patient to be strong and inner strength can lead to a faster recovery and helps also to gain strength for the patient,it is not that easy but with patience the result will be as good as accomplishment not just in career as care provider but a good felt in your heart as a care provider that you yourself will always treasured it in your whole life not just a caregiver but as a human.

Caregiver is always a challenging career and as a caregiver, you constantly extend you hand to help the patient to overcome all the illnesses and hardship. treat the patient as your best friend,that he/she can count on you at all times. inner understanding and a lots of patience and you will make a difference. Chemistry that caregiver must to build for both of them and
patient, building the bridge to good communication and closeness as this can lead to a healthy relationship as a caregiver and patient and it helps a lot to healthier environment and rapid recovery for the patient,or lessen either can prevent to worse health status of the patient good chemistry or good relationship is very important if you are in the field of caregiver career. All that I mention above will not come quickly,caregiver must have a lots or much more patient reserved and all that patient will give you the good result before you knew it. The good thing if both caregiver and patient have the good communication and good relationship as caregiver and patient. both of you and the patient can truly understand what both felt and even a small matters you and the patient can both understand without speaking just by sense you know quickly what the patient means,that's we call inner trust like one of your love ones that so close to you or best friend that just both of you can understand.

Before a caregiver will qualify for the job,there will be an screening and matching for both side if the caregiver and patient is compatible to be together and the likeness and dislike will be both carefully understand and respecting and to abide the rules for both to avoid any conflict in future. agencies that provide a caregiver for those patient or family that need someone to for them or for their love ones either a social worker need a caregiver in care home, the agencies that provide a caregiver is responsible for all the processing before the caregiver start to work. Career as a caregiver is not easy as just taking care for the patient in all that he/she needed as you think, but as a caregiver you must truly understand that sometimes you must to sacrifice also leaving your family,this sacrifices is common to a foreign worker caregiver, working abroad across the sea to work as a caregiver,sample cases is Filipino
caregiver's that work abroad as a caregiver,there's a large percentage of Filipino caregiver
around the world. taking care for patient in various areas whether in hospital's,care home,nursing home or in a private residence of the patient whether live in caregiver or live out, we can see their sacrifices,specially if the caregiver is a father or a mother in their native
land,they will sacrifice to work abroad far with their love ones just to sustain their daily need's,they will give their best effort to take care for a patient and to care for their reputation as a caregiver,often homesick,eagerness to hug their kids and love ones, they'll overcome it whether they like it or not, they must put all aside and to give the best care for their patient. Its not that easy but worthy if the caregiver make their best and love the patient like their own and the trust will be to both patient and caregiver heart, they will be like a truly family
not in blood but in heart. The sacrifices of the caregiver will be worth it and made the difference.

the caregiver will be comfortable in his/her career as a caregiver and at the same time the caregiver sustain his/her family needs across the sea and the relationship of the patient and caregiver will be as best or great experience in both on their entire life, that both will treasure it,the patient and the caregiver as well as the family of both parties. Sacrifices of a caregiver is worth if the bonding and relationship of the patient and caregiver as well as the patient family matches and they treat the same way as one family and it is truly amazing and great experience for the caregiver and the patient and all people that around them, give and take ways for both parties and happiness will flow constantly. And its a worth sacrifice and wonderful experience for the caregiver & the patient that in their whole life they can treasure it specially those fantastic moment together. BY:J.LE
