4 Humor & Laughter Immune system benefits Telling jokes Sharing sweet stories Defusing negative emotions Candle Meditation Caregivers have a unique role to play in an individual s struggle. That role may be compared to a candle. A candle can help illuminate an experience, provide a path in the darkness, and give courage to explore. Caregivers, at their best, can provide that light.

The journey may be dark, but the light can make it less terrifying. Only the caregivers who make the time to take care of themselves can be at their best and be like the candle that continues to burn without burning out. Doka, K.J. (1993).
