商品簡介
Caring for a sick or elderly loved one, or someone with cognitive impairment or a degenerative disease, can turn your life upside down. But meeting their needs should not cause you to neglect your own.
The role of caregiver is essential, but often overlooked. For those who take on this role, recognising the burden they carry can help them cope better.
Drawing on numerous testimonials, this book highlights the impact of this role on caregivers' physical and mental health, as well as on their daily lives. Its aim is to enable them to take care of themselves in order to prevent burnout, through a better understanding of the emotional states and stress they experience.
All issues related to the role of the caregiver are addressed, including communication with healthcare professionals and family members, as well as the support and resources available to help them fulfil this role with peace of mind.
Caregivers need support and recognition.
