My mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and I took care of her until her death in 2013. She told me that just having me their to make sure her personal business was taken care of, running her errands and just being a companion to her on a daily basis meant the world to her. After she passed, I started helping out some of the elderly in the community and church. I would basically just go by and spend some time with them, take them to & from their appointments and run their errands. My most recent task was since my brother-in-law works swing shifts he hired me to care for my older sister which had to have total knee replacement. I also was responsible for taking her back and forth to her doctors appointments.
