Don’t Go It Alone! The Importance of Caregiver Support.

The article above by a fellow blogger who recently lost his wife due to complications of dementia, echos my sentiments about the need to invite others to join you on your caregiving journey.  Walking the path alone is not only inadvisable, but in most instances, it’s impossible.  With so many unknowns waiting around the corner, every caregiver needs to enlist the help of those who can effectively support him or her, and as a result, provide much needed assistance to the one being cared for.

I’m a firm believer of team support, as I stated in my article: Caregiving: The Ultimate Team Sport.  Another article, Solo Caregiving, provides encouraging ways in which to recruit team members when there are no family members on which to rely.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish.  Developing a team of caregiver-helpers goes a long way towards taking care of numero uno – YOU!
