About this listen

There's a word your family uses when they want to sound supportive.

Defer.

"We defer to you."

"Whatever you think is best."

"We know you've got it covered."

That's not support. That's a load — handed to you, wrapped in a compliment.

You can defer, too.This week on Caregiving Comforts, we're talking about how to hand something back and what to have ready if they don't show up.
