She said it takes much patience and understanding to watch loved ones gradually go from vibrant, loving and energetic people to those who need constant care, day and night. Families and caregivers need compassion from' friends, relatives and the community to give, a hand, even if only for a few hours. We never know when we may be in a situation that we need help and we too will hope someone hascompas- sion and cares for us, Mrs. Adams noted.
