Do you work as a first responder or are you a caregiver to a loved one? Providing care has its rewards – it allows you to help others in a time of need or it gives you the chance to care for someone who once cared for you. Sometimes, this work is heavy to carry. These roles may make you feel exhausted, overwhelmed and may bring up issues that have been packed away.
As a first responder, you are being called to help at a time when someone’s life is about to change. Those situations have elements that were beyond your control and you may be left with feeling helpless.
Loving someone with a cognitive impairment means you will grieve the loss twice.
It is tough for you to take care of your parents and your children at the same time.
You are struggling with the transition of moving your parent to a care home and you feel guilty about having to make this decision.
It is hard for you to take care of yourself while watching your child or loved one’s mental health decline.
