When we have been thrust into the arena as the major caregiver for a family member, we are often riddled with guilt. We have to realize it’s not our fault. Stop the blame, shame and criticism. We are doing what we think is necessary and beneficial for our loved ones. We must remember we also have to take care of ourselves. Support groups are terrific avenues to share feelings, overcome some of the anxieties and stresses that are a natural part of care-giving. Share your thoughts and feeling with us.
