Valleys and Mountains of Caregiving2013Did you believe the full or almost full time care of a spouse or parent would be without stress? Did you think family members and friends would be available and understanding to support you at that most crucial moment?
Has it changed? How long have you been the primary caregiver for a loved one? How often are you taking breaks? Do you think about respite?
Caregivers need care, attention, time outs, managed time and just time for themselves to be and do some of the things they used to do or just to sit and think and relax and not worry about the care and concern of others.
How often are you willing or would you be willing to fit this “time out” into your schedule?
