Practical ways to share the load, take needed breaks, and care for yourself while caring for someone you love.
I used to get a much needed break when the Hospice nurse came to spend a few hours with my uncle.
There is nothing more difficult than looking after an elderly loved one. If you are lucky enough to have siblings try and set up a schedule.
Exactly. The book for caregivers I'm starting to work on is tentatively called "The Family Caregiving System: Sharing the Care of a Loved One". Hopefully it will be of value.
thank you.
on any given day sometimes it seems like the work never ends. your brain constantly think: "okay, what's next..."
You're very welcome. The more I research and investigate, the more I see what an overwhelming issue family caregivers is.
Many of us know from first-hand experience. Getting a real break os often rare.
Has this author ever met a mother?
I understand your point.
