Summary:
Linda Abbit shares her advice on taking care of an older parent or loved one and how to handle everything that goes along with this dramatic life change. Being a caregiver can be a difficult role. It requires patience, tenderness, selflessness, and hard work. Providing care for someone, whether it's a parent, a loved one, or as a professional requires a high level of self-love and self-care. But while it may be a rewarding experience to care for a loved one, the emotional and physical stress of caregiving can lead to burnout and exhaustion--causing caregivers to put themselves and their own well-being in the background. Conscious Caregiver teaches you how to navigate caring for your loved one, whether it's full-time in-house caregiving or hiring support from outside services.
