November marked #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth - a dedicated moment to recognise the incredible individuals whose compassion and commitment support those who need it most. As the month comes to a close, we’re reminded of the quiet strength and resilience caregivers show every single day, powerfully captured in the “hidden costs” highlighted by the Live Like Lou Foundation.
Caregiving for someone with ALS often means unseen sacrifices: missed work hours that impact family income, sleepless nights filled with worry and tending to needs, emotional exhaustion, and physical strain from daily care tasks. These hidden costs weigh heavily on caregivers’ well-being, yet their dedication never wavers. 💙 #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #ALSAwareness #ALSCaregivers #LiveLikeLou
