HOW CAN A SUPPORT GROUP HELP ME?
Caregiving can evoke a lot
of different emotions, including: guilt depression, stress and resentment. How
do you deal with these emotions by yourself? A better question to ask yourself
may be… Why are you trying to deal with these emotions by yourself?
Joining a support group of
your peers, who are experiencing the same emotions, can be very helpful. A
support group offers exactly what the name says “support”! It’s an opportunity
to exchange ideas with other caregivers, share frustrations, and relieve your
stress.
