Caring…it’s not the hard part of caregiving. Anyone caregiving alone is missing out on learning about resources available to them to make their experience better, for them AND their loved one. And there are feelings and experiences that caregivers have that are probably universal but that no one who hasn’t lived this can understand, so you can speak about these things without judgement there and know that you are okay and that your feelings are normal. It’s also important to be able to have time just for you without your loved one.
