After your loved one shares, express your feelings and thoughts back. Use words to describe how you feel about him and what moments you treasure with him. Give a treasure. After this exchange of words, invite your loved one to start a “treasure chest” - a box or box in which you will store memorable trinkets, cards with kind words, photographs and anything that will remind you of pleasant moments spent together. Promise each other that you will treasure these treasures and discover them in moments of doubt or sadness. Caring for your loved ones and yourself is an ongoing process.
