Caregivers need to get enough rest. Many caregivers will suffer from fatigue because they're holding down a job, running one or more households and caring for additional people. Caregivers need to feel they are not alone. They need support and understanding. Caregivers need time not to focus on or talk about their loved ones illness.
Communication is important.
Share your feelings. Denying your feelings can make them fester into something much more. Chances are, your loved one shares a lot of the same feelings as you the caregiver. By admitting and accepting your feelings, you can begin to develop new ways of coping and meeting your needs. They may resent their life turned upside down.
