She then further continued saying,
“But the most loving and supportive thing you can do is to be curious and inform yourself about your father’s illness.—–One of the best things we can do as caregivers – and as friends and family – is to educate ourselves about our loved one’s illness so that we can be there for them and support them in the best way possible.”
