Episode 26: Past Relationships Affect Caregiving
When you become the caregiver to a loved one, you bring into your role a history that may be filled with good and bad. Be prepared to work through some hurts. You may need to seek professional help, there may need to be a healing and forgiveness to take place.
If you had a very loving history and you enter into caregiving with the goal of meeting every need of your loved one, you may need to take it slow. Find a way of providing the best care, with the support from others. Remember that your demonstration of love is not based on how much you do or the fact that you do it all.
