The Lady-Links love to keep connected to their dear friends, those ladies in our community with some type of cognitive decline, and making cards to send them is always fun. It’s fun for us to make them and fun for our dear friends to receive them.
Recently we made over 80 cards, each with a cheerful message to send to our dear friends.
With a little prep work to either buy or make stickers and gather supplies, we spent a morning creating cheerful cards that we knew would make our dear friends smile.
Each card was unique….no two were alike, but all had a “Thinking of You” message that was sure to make the recipient feel valued and appreciated.
Connecting with friends or loved ones in cognitive decline is important. It keeps them engaged with life and helps them overcome periods of loneliness, anxiety and depression. We have been told that when our dear friends receive our cards, they continue to hold them and enjoy them for days.
A card gives our dear friends something tangible. It’s a connection through a sense of touch, and a great way to show that we care.
