A hard-working tele-marketer called up an elderly woman one day, and began to solicit her for his product. The woman was so in need of a little conversation, she could not let the young man off the phone - but instead was compelled to keep him talking. Only did their talk end when she had finally purchased from him even more than she could afford. MORAL: lest they be scammed, many people just need someone for a short time, to converse with and to share.

Caregivers need care, too. No one can do a job 24/7, do it well, and survive. If this sounds familiar it may be time for a family meeting to clarify the problems, list the jobs that need to be done (shopping, provide a meal or two every week, doctors appointments, taking care of the banking, time off for you, etc). You can't do it alone. You and your loved one are worth more than that. LessAlone (LAO) contact companions help to fill a gap in that person's life, who lives alone. I recommend that you sign someone up today, and find them a contact friend, for their safety and YOUR peace of mind!
