Caregivers often take on this new role out of love and with good intentions. A crisis or drastic change in a loved one’s health can leave little time to allow caregivers to think about the effects of this new role. Not only can this change your relationship with your spouse or parent, but it also often changes relationships with your own children, your partner, or your career.
Trying to navigate caregiving responsibilities, while juggling a career and the needs of your own children or spouse, can leave little time to take care of your own basic needs. Exhaustion or feelings of being overwhelmed can cause strain between you and your loved one. One sacrifice leads to another, and before you know it, caregiver burnout sets in.
Whether you’ve experienced caregiver burnout before or want to prevent it entirely, the good news is you’ve come to the right place for insight on navigating your relationship with a parent or spouse while caregiving, as well as after.
Relationships will inevitably change once you decide to be a caregiver. Understanding the changes that will occur — as well as your options as caregiving needs increase — can ensure that you and your loved one both have the support you need.
