Walk away.....: I'm not kidding. Caregiving is extremely stressful, unless: u realize that u r still individuals with needs for private time, time apart, time to reenergize. The sooner u realize that your help has its limits, the longer you'll be able to be help. Take care of yourself, see your gp so that you stay healthy and get specific advice on how best you can be a caretaker, and resources for help.

Needed distance: I agree with Dr. Kurzwell. It is essential to keep your life in balance. For most caregivers it is important that they arrange to have literal distance from the person they care for at least weekly. Take a time out for yourself. Continue to engage in activities that give your life meaning & that you enjoy. Remember not to neglect your own needs. Don’t let being a caregiver be your only identity.
