Being a caregiver is stressful in any situation and especially when it is for someone you care about. First and foremost, you should build a support network for yourself. You would be surprised by how much this can provide peace of mind. Second, you should try to be as informed as possible about your loved one’s situation. The more that you know the less likely you are to be surprised when new situations occur between you and your mother. This can help you to feel less stressed by obstacles that may arise.
