Caring for the Caregiver

If you are caregiver, you have probably discovered that it is one of the most difficult jobs you have ever undertaken!

Or, you may be considering the possibility that you might become a caregiver, sooner or later, with or without some assistance from others in your family. And you rightly suspect it might very well be "one of the most difficult jobs in the world!"

Sometimes you are placed in this role suddenly--like a car accident--and sometimes imperceptibly, your life is changed--temporarily or forever. You find yourself thrust into the role of caregiver--for a short time or for a lifetime, either your lifetime or that of someone dear to you. You shrug, and accept the burden. And then the long voyage begins.
