David, thanks for a lovely blog that makes such a good point about our always having to learn in life and share that learning with others. I knew I was a rookie caregiver who had to constantly learn new things as my wife's condition worsened. But, I also found it very helpful for me to recall that she was a rookie "caregivee" who was just struggling to find her way and do the best she could with what she now had to deal with. A very poignant portrayal of these dynamics can be seen in the movie "On Golden Pond" with Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn as aging, caring caregiver and caregivee, along with their daughter and grandson, struggling to learn how to live in the very different stages of their own lives.
