How to submit
What is one thing you know now that you wish someone had told you earlier?
What would you want another caregiver reading your story to know?
How did caregiving start for you?
These questions might help:
What does your caregiving situation look like today?
Not sure where to start?
People contribute to The Carespondence Times for different reasons. Some have never seen their caregiving situation reflected anywhere and want to change that. Some find that writing helps them process what they have been through. Some simply want another caregiver, somewhere, to read their words and think: that is exactly how it feels.
All of those are good reasons. You do not need to have a tidy ending or a lesson learned. You just need a story
Why people share
You do not have to be a professional writer. You do not have to be a professional caregiver. You just have to have lived it.
The Carespondence Times features real stories from real caregivers because the most powerful thing one caregiver can do for another is help them feel less alone. If you have been through it, your experience matters here.
