Caregiver Resources
Being a Caregiver is HARD.
As a Caregiver, it is difficult to find time for yourself. You are consumed with worry. Worry you are doing something wrong, worry you are forgetting something, worry you are being judged or not good enough.
Worry is a heavy emotion - one that can cripple you from the inside out if you let it build up. It is important to know that you are NOT the only caregiver out there. There are so many people who feel the same way that you do and you are not alone.
