Respite Care

While caring for an elderly, chronically ill, or disabled family member may simply be a part of daily life, it is a demanding role, and no one is equipped to do it alone. If you’re caring for someone at the expense of taking care of yourself, it could lead to unintended consequences. Not paying attention to your personal happiness and fulfillment can create resentment over time as you continue to put others’ priorities ahead of your own. Left unaddressed, this resentment can grow into a task of obligation, and that’s not fair to you or the person you love. Remember…your loved one wants you to be happy, too!
