I did not seek out or apply for this position of caregiver. It just happened due to circumstances. I have been a caregiver for two family members over 11 years. It wasn’t an easy transition. Moving from being a wife to a caregiver evolved out of necessity. I’m looking back over these years and would like to share my experiences and epiphanies so that you don’t have to find out some of these things by trial and error. You need your friends and family. Lean on them. They want to be there for you. Caregiving can be so overwhelming. You haven’t done anything wrong, it’s just the circumstances you find yourself in. My journey started out caring for my husband with major health issues that grew into dementia. I look forward to sharing my journey through this to give knowledge and hope.
