Caregiver Support

Nobody expects to have to care for a loved one.  And even those who plan for it can find the task exceptionally difficult.  It is important to note that this is not because you love someone less.  If fact, it is often caring for the ones we love the most that generates the most stress and frustration.

There is a straightforward explanation for this phenomenon: the more we care for someone the less we want the nature of our relationship with that person to change. But providing day to day care, often centered on unpleasant tasks, fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship – for both parties.  Embarrassment, frustration, and even anger can overwhelm the once self-sufficient person in need of care.  And feelings of lost freedom, loneliness, and even depression are all too common in those providing the care.  In fact, multiple studies show that if the need for day-to-day care persists over a number of years it can lead to resentment in both the one providing care and the one receiving it.   Life is too short and these relationships are too important to place undue strain on them.
