Welcome to TSP. What a fine and wonderfully sisterly response to a woman in need. Let's put it out there and see if anyone has any ideas, though I do think cooking is lovely since it is both an activity and a nourishment. Good for you. Let's see if the other TSP sisters have any suggestions. Make sure to read the posts in "<a href="http://thesisterproject.com/roach/teaching-john-to-cook-some-more/" rel="nofollow">Teaching John to Cook</a>," to see if these are simple enough for the project. And do come back and let us know how you are doing. Hi, Meghan. Welcome to TSP. What a fine and wonderfully sisterly response to a woman in need.

She is 55, and her son an daughter have no contact with her because the "Struggle with seeing her like that". The woman feels very hopeless about the future and has been moved into an assisted living facility. Myself, my friend and her mother would like to start regularly spending time with this woman. We thought cooking with her once a week to give her a break from the cafeteria food, and getting her into some crafts/projects would be very beneficial. Do you have any resources on crafts/hobbies for people who have limited grip ability in their hands? Thanks so much! Recently, I’ve been introduced to a woman who has ALS.
