If you are knowledgeable about the needs and challenges of caring for a loved one, you can always offer to help share the responsibility of being a family member’s caregiver for a day or more. This will give the primary caregiver a break from the constant stress and responsibility. This support will allow them time to reset and relax, but it also gives you an idea of what it takes to be a full-time family caregiver. There may come a time when a family caregiver can no longer provide for their loved one as the loved one’s needs change. When this happens, it is often no longer sustainable to continue to provide this level of care at home. This is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, as we all want to provide the best care for our loved ones in any way we can.
