Real talk about caregivingĀ š
Hi ,
This week we've been talking about caregiver depression and loss of identity. Thankfully, caregivers are experts at developing resiliency.
Don't forget to connect with other caregivers this week. I was reading a study that found 90% of caregivers wanted to connect with other people in their situation! Post to our caregiver forums or our private Facebook group. If you're not a big Facebook user, you can join a group on our site and post there.
Our main focus has always been the emotional side of caregiving, but we also discuss how to navigate the healthcare system. That includes things like real estate taxes, signing up for Medicare, serving as the executor for an estate, and getting financial support for family caregiving.
Remember, regardless of your political leanings, we're all fighting to support caregivers.
Until next week,
PS. Bob's sharing an important message about prostate cancer.
