Caregivers are often hesitant to speak about the difficulty of their jobs.  It's pretty hard to describe the physical and emotional roller coaster to someone who hasn't been there. 

At times it feels like you are the only one experiencing these feelings. And yet… you're not alone.  Millions of caregivers are feeling the same way. Feelings of isolation, depression and withdrawal could prevent you from providing the proper care for your aging parent, or even yourself.

Connecting with other caregivers that are going through similar challenges can be a source of understanding that can help you maintain your perspective (and sense of humor). 

EldercareABC is dedicated to connecting caregivers, offering information and an online community.   The 'ABC' in EldercareABC stands for 'About Being Connected'.  Take a look around and discover a group of people that are here to support you and who you can support in your own way.
