Caring for Yourself

Being a caregiver is a very taxing job and often very stressful. Remember that you need to take care of yourself, so that you can do a good job caring for your loved one. Support groups can be a wonderful opportunity to keep a social connection with people who are going through a similar experience.  Take time to laugh and enjoy the small things every day.  Try to exercise whether it be simple stretches and walks or being able to get away for a focused workout on your own.  Find more ideas and helps in the articles to the left.
