Being the primary caregiver of someone who is facing a very challenging and terminal illness can be very demanding and draining at the same time. That is why it is very important for us to be informed on how the disease takes its toll on our loved ones and what we can do to alleviate their burden. We need to be able to talk to the physician, nurses, and social workers to be able to give the best care we possibly can. At the same time, with the help of chaplains, we should be assisting our loved ones as they go through such spiritually-challenging time.
As caregivers, we must also take care of ourselves so we get to take care of our loved ones more. For more information and support that you may need about caregiving and even respite care, call us at 818-782-2516 and we will be very happy to assist you.
