I have great sympathy for Evelyn Bosfield, who wrote about caring for her husband (Letters, April). Been there, done that. And it's a sad, lonely road. When caring for my parents, I hired two of my friends to help with the hands-on care and felt a great burden lift from my shoulders. The caregiver must take care of herself while caring for others.

I would also like to compliment AJN for its light-hearted approach to some headlines, such as "Life in the Fats Lane" (News, April).
