Let’s take a minute to validate the complexity that is caregiving. It’s loving and fulfilling and something we’re probably honored to do. Most often, we’re caring for people we deeply love, who are desperately important to us, and when pressed, we’d likely say it’s an honor and privilege to care for that person or people.

But caregiving is also constant and often draining. It takes so much energy to be on for people pretty much all the time, especially when we’re tending to their needs more than our own.
