"When my mum moved into a nursing home I was struck by how difficult it felt to come up with things to talk to her about. It felt so limiting to ask her about her day when her world had seemed to shrink.  I found Caring Cards on the Internet.  Having such rich questions on hand opened both our worlds again. 

After my mum passed, Caring Cards were also helpful to use as a way of conversing with my siblings and mum's sister and family in preparing her eulogy.  They allowed us to move beyond dates, places, single events and helped us capture the essence of who she was as a person."

Dr. Kathleen Brasher Manager Active Ageing Unit at Council on the Ageing in Victoria Australia

"These cards are truly amazing. I was initially a little skeptical but no longer!  My visit with my mother today was extraordinary compared to our usual painfully long visit. I actually stayed about an hour longer than I normally do and didn't even notice the time passing. I usually count the seconds. She kept saying "Ask me another one!"  It was the best talk we have had in as long as I can remember.  Thank you so much again for this wonderful gift."

Marguerite Case

"Caring Cards eased the tension of not knowing what to say to our aging mom and created a wonderful evening of love, laughter and richness that will be held close to our hearts for many years to come. This valuable pack of thoughtful questions is a true gift to caregivers and their aging parent. The spark was reignited!"

"My father and I have very different opinions on just about everything. Conversations often ends with someone being annoyed or having their feelings hurt. I am always searching for ways to connect with my father where we both leave with a smile on our faces. Caring Cards are a perfect way for us to do just that. My father loves sharing his memories and I love hearing them! We use a few cards each week at our Friday night dinners. Thanks to Caring Cards®, we now have long, meaningful conversations."

"My husband and I pulled out Caring Cards® while my parents were visiting over the holidays.  It was the richest moment of the visit.  One by one each answered the same question, discovering stories and details about each other that we hadn't know before.  'Bridging generations' is right on target, because sharing our experiences sparked a long conversation where we learned about unexpected similarities among us, and in other cases, got to uncover an unknown bit of personal lore that helped us understand the other in new ways.  I even learned something new about my husband of nearly 20 years!  These cards would be fun and meaningful in so many settings, and even all by yourself, to get to know yourself better.  Love them!"

"I facilitate a story group for seniors every week which brings me much joy and the greatest stories on the planet. I used Caring Cards in one of my sessions recently and the seniors LOVED it! Kathie Nitz, the creator of Caring Cards, is an amazing and compassionate woman who understands the needs of seniors and has crafted her product with care and love. That's the best combination for anything anyone puts out in the world. Thank you, Kathie!"

"Kathie, I was delighted to listen to you as the keynote speaker at the New Milford VNA 'Caring for our Community' annual fund raising breakfast.  I loved your story and watching the audience participate in using your Caring Cards.  Your story was inspirational and relatable to everyone in the room and I found it personally moving. I have worked in nursing home and hospice settings, and I fully understand the deep personal need to communicate with a loved one in a way that does not include talking about disease, treatment options, medication or side effects.  I currently work as a memorial planner, helping individuals preplan or families experiencing a loss to create personal and meaningful memorial services.  Your Caring Cards are perfect!"
