Caregiving for a loved one such as a spouse, parent or child can be a very rewarding experience. Providing the most essential care to a loved one is very important work. While that work can be fulfilling, it can also be unpredictable, overwhelming, and isolating. You can’t pour from an empty cup- it’s important for caregivers to pay attention to their own needs as well! Caring for yourself is key to maintaining your own health and well-being. When you feel good, you can take better care of your loved one.
