A quote on an orange background with a yellow speech bubble. The quote reads 'There are no home health aides available in our area. I am trying to take care of my husband, my mom, our kids and work, with no help.' Below the quote it states 'A FAMILY CAREGIVER' and 'NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY' with 'CaringOurWay.com' at the bottom.
Family caregivers rate their stress at 4.09 on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most stressed.
On National Caregivers Day, I think it's helpful to know what it's like to live with that kind of stress.

After you've been caregiving a while, and responding to emergencies and other stressors, your body starts to see this as "normal". It's not. Follow along with me as I guide you through a progressive relaxation technique to reset normal.

Caregiver is a term we apply to people who have chosen to respond to the needs of another. Those who respond to the needs of another... do not call themselves caregivers.

True.
Caregiver "teams" are focused, effective, and unplanned. And necessary. We see this over and over again. Much like a threatened neighborhood suddenly organizes into groups that get things done.
