Caregivers
If you love someone, you will, at some point, be required to care for them …which means putting your needs lower on the priority.
Sounds simple enough …doesn’t it?
But if you find yourself as a caregiver, you know that it is anything but simple.
More than 65 million people provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year.
I am one of them.
If you are one of those 65 million, then this page is for you. On this page you will find blogpostings, links, videos, and all sorts of tips to help as you seek to care for yourself …while caring for someone you love. But we also invite you to share your story, ask questions, offer insights you’ve learned along the way, and encourage another who may be struggling with the challenges of caregiving.
