"Being a caregiver is a huge and, sometimes, overwhelming responsibility. There is just so much to do and that must take priority over all the other daily things that need to be done like shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.
One of the most difficult parts is to see your loved one experiencing pain or struggling to do something and you can't help them. All you can do is sit there and pray that your efforts and support are enough.
It can really rip your heart out. Then, who do I speak to; where do I get comfort and support? That loved one has enough to deal with already.
It's so important for everyone one involved to communicate clearly and often. You may not be successful every time because emotions can really twist the message, but, you have to try."
This is from a close friend who is a caregiver, thank you!!
