This applies whether they have kidney disease or not.
Stop saying, “if there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.” It’s not helpful. Here’s why: it puts the onus on the sick individual, who is likely highly stressed, to figure out ways you can help them. These people are usually going through enough as it is and are likely unable to articulate their needs. Instead offer suggestions on ways that you can assist.
Those with advanced stages of kidney disease may be experiencing brain fog, characterized by confusion, forgetfulness, and a lack of focus and mental clarity. By providing a list of options, you’re making it easier for them to communicate their needs and ways that you can help them.
