Out.of.love

If you are a caregiver, you do it out of love. For the other person, because you give. Because you love. Because you love.

Because the other person is important to you. So you care. out.of.love. You express love through those little moments, by being there AND helping. But when does your own love go out? Do you stop loving yourself or the other for a moment? Do you express yourself then? Out of your love. For yourself.

For the other person. Because you do it, out of love. In the uit.liefde campaign, four family caregivers tell their stories in the minizine and the uit.liefde podcast.
