During Caregiving, You Can Wonder: What's the Point?

When schedules fall apart by Monday afternoon, when you're training yet another home health aide, when that weekend away seems impossible—you can't help but ask: What's the point of all this? Why bother?

In this week's Caregiving Comfort, Denise talks about what to remember when caregiving feels pointless and you feel like giving up. The answer might surprise you: You're the point. Your future is the point.Denise shares why being in the midst of discouragement makes it hard to see how all the points of your caregiving journey connect, and how the wisdom you're gaining now—about time, priorities, and what truly matters—will shape your memories and your future.

This is for every family caregiver who's questioning whether their efforts make a difference. You matter. You're worth the bother. And it's okay to receive the care you've been giving.
