Caregivers

• Wikipedia defines Caregiver Stress Syndrome as “a condition of exhaustion, anger, rage, or guilt that results from unrelieved caring for a chronically-ill dependent”
• Caregivers of aging parents are far more likely than their peers to experience long-term medical problems like heart disease, cancer, diabetes or arthritis – along with elevated stress hormones, weaker immune systems, fatigue or insomnia, stomach complaints, slower wound healing and higher levels of obesity
• As if the health impacts weren’t enough, in 25% of cases, caring for an ill or aging relative is reported as playing a significant role in their divorce or separation

No one needs to convince the frustrated and overwhelmed caregiver – particularly if charged with an Un-cope-able Parent (i.e., challenging to the point of impossible)!

At its worst, you wonder who will pass away first – you or your Mom/Dad. No kidding. So much is written about elder abuse. What about caregiver abuse? That is what a person daily dealing with a resistant senior goes through. Right?
