Caregivers often face feelings of frustration and isolation and may occasionally believe that they have to put their own lives on hold because of the enormous amount of energy that it takes to care for someone else. They also may be reluctant to talk with family or friends about their feelings until they reach a point of being overwhelmed. Help is available. Talking with someone can put these feelings into perspective and can offer guidance and hope.
