Caregiving for a loved one with dementia is physically and emotionally draining. Many caregivers reach the end of the day utterly exhausted, yet still find themselves staying up late just to enjoy a little peace and quiet.
But when rest feels out of reach, how do you reclaim it without guilt?
Lizette walks us through a coaching session with Irene, a dedicated caregiver for her husband, and uncover why rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Caregiving is a marathon, not a sprint—and taking care of yourself ensures you can care for your loved one for the long run.
Many caregivers hesitate to ask for help or prioritize their own well-being.
But rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessary part of serving well.
