How often has someone asked about the family member who is being cared for? You have answered and those well wishers have continued to offer support for your ailing, aging or disabled loved one. It is seldom that they actually realize you as the caregiver need and want continued support. Your emotional support and encouragement is what New Beginnings is all about. When you as the caregiver feel support, assistance and warmth, it is easier for you to carry on with your caregiving responsibilities. It is motivating to know that others are considering your thoughts and feelings. How often are you taking time out for yourself — just a few minutes a day to unwind? When is the last time that you as the caregiver decided you deserved a real break? It’s not too late to plan that summer get-away. Call in some favors. Being a caregiver requires flexibility in your schedule to allow you to realize that someone really wants to know and cares about you.
Remember, “Caregivers Need Care Too”.
