Are you totally stressed out, overwhelmed, or completely burnt out caring for a loved one? Are you feeling alone, isolated, or wish you had more help? Are you feeling resentful or guilty?
If this is you, keep reading.
While there are rewards to caring for those we love, there is no denying being a caregiver is a stressful job.
It's physically demanding, mentally exhausting, and emotionally draining.
The responsibility wears us thin as we become a shadow of who we once were.
In 2020 it was estimated there were approximately 53 million caregivers in the United States alone, with up to 70% reporting symptoms of depression. With our ever-growing aging population, the lack of caregiver support, and the growing demands in our evolving personal lives, this number is likely only going up.
Even the most well-prepared and organized can't escape the strain and burden that come along with caregiving.
Having felt all this and more, Katie Duncan, a nurse practitioner, Death Coach, and former family caregiver, reveals the secrets she learned throughout her own caregiving experiences, and the shared wisdom of other caregivers she's encountered along her path.
