Being a family caregiver is rewarding, but it often comes with physical and emotional challenges. Caregivers may feel isolated as they step back from social activities to care for loved ones. Friends and family might not understand the demands or may withdraw out of uncertainty. Still, support doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, thoughtful gestures can make a meaningful difference.

• Offer to run errands or pick up groceries
• Bring over a meal or set up a meal train
• Help with chores like laundry, dishes, or yard work
• Stay with their loved one so they can take a break
• Assist with organizing medical or legal documents
• Share helpful tech tools for caregiving
• Check in regularly and listen without judgment
• Encourage caregivers to care for their own health

Flu season usually starts in October and peaks between December and February. It’s spread mainly through respiratory droplets when we talk, cough, or sneeze. To protect yourself and others, be sure to get a flu shot. Wash your hands often and cover your coughs and sneezes. If you do feel sick, stay home and away from others. A few simple steps can keep you and others safter this season.

Recovering from a mastectomy or breast reconstruction takes time, physically and emotionally. Pain, stiffness, or fatigue can limit how well you move your arm and shoulder, making daily activities like dressing, bathing, or combing your hair more difficult. Physical and occupational therapists can provide personalized guidance and treatments to help with discomfort and immobility. In addition, the American Cancer Society suggests the following small steps and practical tips to support healing and help you regain comfort and confidence in everyday movement:

• Try gentle movements like wall walks, pendulum swings, and shoulder rolls to ease stiffness.
• Don’t ignore scar tightness, as gentle massage or physical therapy can help improve both comfort and mobility.
• Protect your arm from bumps or pokes.
• Use compression sleeves to reduce swelling and fatigue.

Always be sure to check with your healthcare provider to see what is recommended for your recovery.
