The important thing is to get involved however you can. It may help to know that you're not alone. According to the National Family Caregivers Association, there are an estimated 25 million family caregivers in this country. Many find themselves taking on this role in addition to many other responsibilities, such as a full-time job or raising children. It's likely to be stressful and even frustrating at times, but the rewards can be great.
