THE PLAN

The important thing is the plan.  Do you have one? 

Are you prepared in an emergency?  Do you know where your important papers are?  Do you know what they are?  Does your support group know where they are?  Do you have a support group?

If you do not, set down with your loved ones and develop a plan and a plan B.  Make sure you have something available in case something unexpected happens and your loved one is not left alone without knowing what is transpiring. 

A couple I know only have each other.  He had a stroke.  She is having memory issues and didn't know where he was.  They are extremely fortunate that his employer and the church they attend, plus a caring neighbor. were able to step up in the crisis. 

BUT, there must be clarity and things put in place so that the care receiver isn't left frightened. 

God has placed us in families.  Some are blood relatives, others are those who we have brought into our lives.  These people provide what we need in the PLAN that will take away stress and fear of emergency situations.
