SPOTLIGHT: Lessons from caregivers
Montreal Author | Irene Andrejczuk
Addressing the emotional toll of caregiving
Are you a caregiver to an elderly loved one? Perhaps a parent, aunt or uncle, or family friend is approaching a phase in their life where they may begin to rely on you more and more.
There is much talk about the emotional toll of caregiving and that is certainly an issue that needs to be highlighted an addressed.
What isn’t highlighted as often is the gift of caregiving. How caregiving, through its ups and downs, can become a deeply personal and introspective journey that helps us gain new perspectives on our own lives and helps us better connect with our higher selves.
