1. Caring for a loved one can be very depressing on the primary caregiver and the person you cared for. On my experience working with seniors, elderly who have a private caregiver does respond to treatments faster and get well quicker than when their children are around doing the job. First mom or dad never plan for you to quit working to taking care of them. Primary caregiver do not know that, caregiver burnout start from the time they're doing everything from doctor appointment to activities daily living . I seing wife who was taking care of dying husband died and husband live, why because of caregiver burnout.
2. What Is Caregiver Burnout? Caregiver burnout is mentally, spiritually physically drained. Mentally you seeing your loved one as he or she use to be gradually you get into depression. Spiritually you disconnect with your innerself not enough sleep even on your sleep you worried. Physically you overwork never take a time off for just you relax without guilt. Remember your loved one will love for you to step out and give them some space too their know you care. Be involved in the care not work in the care, your job is to making sure your loved one get help from the best caregiver not you be the caregiver. Mom & Dad had making sure you had loving nanny, now it is your turns to keep them home and hire loving,caring, compassionate caregiver who really care.
