A member asked:
As a caregiver, how must i talk to my family members?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex issue: If you mean other family members that might help with the caregiving, speak to them in a spirit of love, collegiality, and honesty about what's required. Let them know when you need help or respite. If you mean the family member for whom you're the caregiver, speak with him/her in a spirit of love, compassion, and support. For some people, receiving care may be as hard as it is to give it.
