Being a caregiver can be a difficult role. It requires patience, sensitivity, selflessness, and hard work. Providing care for someone, whether it’s a child, a parent, a loved one, or as a professional requires a high level of self-love and self-care. Caregiving can feel rewarding and hard at the same time. But while it may be a rewarding experience to care for a loved one, the emotional and physical stress of caregiving far too often leads to burnout and exhaustion, causing caregivers to put themselves and their own well-being in the background. Caregivers often feel stressed, neglected, and oh yea…very alone. So, what if the person in need is the caregiver themselves? What do you do when the caregiver needs care given? How can you fulfill your role as a caregiver without losing yourself? “What Do You Do…When Caregivers Need Care Given” serves as a resource for those operating in the role as a caregiver by teaching you how to care for yourself while caring for others. With information on how to talk to your loved ones about their situation, handle the emotional stress, adapt to this new normal, and take the time to care for yourself, this guide can help you care for your loved one and yourself at the same time. Twylia educates, empowers, and enlightens as she shares wisdom gleaned from the years of her personal and professional caregiving experience for maintaining your physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being while caring for others. The compassion for both caregiver and survivor felt within the pages of this book provides support and inspiration to anyone in the challenging yet rewarding role as a caregiver. Those struggling with the challenges of being a caregiver to those with chronic or lifelong illnesses will walk away with the peace of mind and reassurance needed to continue their caregiving journey.
