Caregiving: by choice or default?


Parents are caregivers to their children.  Most of the time, it is anticipated and or planned.  It is looked forward to with great joy and much pleasure.

Caregiving later in life isn't always a choice.  Life happens.  Loved ones get sick or age.  A person is often caring for their little ones as they find themselves caring for their parents.  Life chooses for us and we are hit head-on with challenges we have never faced before.

Assess your situation.  Did you have a choice in becoming a caregiver at this time?  Do you have others who are involved with you?  Are you overwhelmed?

If you are struggling with issues or loneliness because of the limitations caregiving has placed on you, write to us.  Share your concerns.  There is someone who will work with you and give you the support you need as you walk the path you are traveling today.
