From YOUR CAREGIVER MINUTE
It’s simply too easy to become lost as the person pushing the wheelchair. We’re become the one standing in the hospital room corner, the one doing laundry or meals, etc. How can we talk about our own broken hearts or weariness when our loved ones have such drastic illnesses or challenges? Too many caregivers feel guilty for saying anything construed as complaining or wanting a break. After all, the suffering loved one doesn’t get a break from pain/disease/ disability. But our injuries and wounds, whether physical or emotional, require attention—regardless of how they compare to others.
Bobby Rosenberger and this is your George remitted caregivers often lose their own identity which has disastrous effects. How can we care for someone else.

But it's critical for us to learn to express I'm tired I'm lonely. I'm scared or I'm angry and then we can seek the help. We desperately need.
We can reclaim healthy identities by cultivating trusted and appropriate relationships in those relationships. Caregivers can safely express feelings and challenges with someone who understands their needs, doctors, counselors, pastor support groups can all help us regain our identity so that we as whole persons can better care for our loved ones, your caregiver minute with Peter Rosenberger is brought to you by meta-share affordable biblical healthcare.
