      Your blog post beautifully states the many ways the caregiver's touch provides assistance and healing energy. I could relate to each of your scenarios so well.

      Our hospital actually has a Healing Touch therapist.

      She is absolutely wonderful, and she has worked with Jon a few times during his hospitalizations. She also gave me a session once, and it was fabulous.

      I believe in the importance of touch in caregiving. We convey so much energy through touch and physical contact, and it must have a physiological benefit to it. HUGS make us feel better.

      Touch is the most tangible expression of love and caring. A person, who is unable to hear or comprehend what is being said, will easily understand a gentle touch.

      I think touch is also the first thing we miss when a loved one passes and is one of the factors in our difficulty with letting go. Our physical connection ties us to each other.

      Definitely, touch is at the forefront in caregiving. And it is absolutely one of the most wonderful benefits of the job.

      Thanks Donna for posting this for us.

      Love & Light,

        Thank you, Rose. I appreciate your thoughts about missing touch when the person you care for passes, too. I would love to know your thoughts about my other post too about listening and telepathy. Let me know what you think. I might be crazy, but I bet you experience telepathy with Jon and with Michael too. Hope you all are having a great day, my friend. xDonna
