So often I hear, “no one wakes up and decides they want to be a caregiver.” Taking care of a loved one is a huge responsibility. However, it is just as important to focus on the caregiver.
Frequently, those who are thrust into the caregiving role aren’t equipped or experienced. For example, the business executive who worked for 40 years outside of the home now faced with caring for his or her spouse. Oftentimes, caregivers are overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused by all the new responsibilities. Additionally, the caregiver may even have limitations or health issues of their own.
Because caregiving is often hard and lonely, it is important to find advice and support for the caregiver.
