I woke up this morning thinking how much I miss the Hubby. I miss being touched, holding hands, just basic touches.
Which made me realize how little my mom is touched daily, weekly...
Doctor appointments don't count as touches.
Hair appointments don't count as touches.
Caregiver touches really don't count because they are not a loved one.
Is lack of touching one of the causes of depression? I know it affect me when I am alone for a week.
It must be so much worse for someone who is now alone, without their spouse to touch them and hold them daily.
My goal is touch my mom daily on purpose... To give her a hug...
An experiment to see how personal daily touch affects her. I'm expecting good things from this....
Stay tuned....
