Throughout the United States, numerous families take on the responsibility of providing care to an elderly, disabled, or ill loved one. Being an informal caregiver to a relative is an admirable and noble task because it requires a person to dedicate their time to helping a family member who desperately needs care. However, caregiving can be a very demanding role that causes the person providing care to neglect their own needs.
It is normal for family caregivers to feel guilty about prioritizing their own needs and personal lives over the needs of their loved one who needs help. But it is important that family caregivers take time away from caregiving so they can address their own personal business and well-being.
