Caregiving and Self-care

Most of us will find ourselves in caregiver roles at one time or another. From raising children to helping out when a loved one is ill or has an accident. We readily rise to the occasion. But if the person we are caring for never returns back to the independence they once enjoyed, we can find ourselves caught in a “new normal” and unprepared for the continuing role. We often grow tired and weary, feeling isolated and even trapped. The concept of self-care may seem selfish and yet remains vital if care givers are going to do this all-important job of caregiving.
