Facing the Emotional Side of Caregiving

This website has helped me deal with some of my feelings, and to be kind to myself when doing so. I hope it helps you, too!

"If you don’t deal with ALL of your emotions, they can be like a two-year-old who wants your attention: they will keep tugging at you until you stop and acknowledge them. Not paying attention to your feelings can lead to poor sleep, illness, trouble coping, stress eating, substance abuse, etc. When you admit to your feelings, you can then find productive ways to express them and deal with them, so that you and the care receiver can cope better in the future."
