Being a caregiver is a beautiful, selfless act of kindness and indeed, an opportunity, but it’s also one of the toughest roles a person can play in their lifetime.
Whether your caregiving experience is checking in on an elderly neighbor or relative periodically, providing 24/7 care for a loved one in your home or something in between, caregiving is replete with stressful moments.
We know that there are times when things get so difficult, you just want to throw in the towel – but you don’t. And we want to reward you for that endless dedication.
In the past, we’ve asked our customers to share their struggles, and we got some great – and very honest – responses from you, such as this one:
My biggest struggle, honestly, is a continuing one. It is allowing mom time to do what she can do for herself and wants to do for herself – because it is so agonizingly slow. The simple act of fixing herself a cup of tea can take what seems like an hour. I want to save time and her energy by jumping in and doing it for her. But that makes her feel even more dependent, and she hates feeling dependent. So hard.
