Great Article on Caregiver Burnout. Thanks! You’ve really brought up some good points on what can happen to us both physically and mentally dealing with the Elder. Now-a-days with so many of us Baby Boomers taking care of our Elderly, we don’t realize what type of stress we are really putting ourselves under and this article really lays it out nice. This just opens our eyes more to what the stresses of caring for a loved one can do to us.

Bob,

Thanks for your comments on caregiver burnout — it’s great to hear from someone who has such extensive knowledge and experience with caregiving! I’m sorry to hear about your mother, but am so glad you’re using your experience to help other caregivers so they don’t burn out.

Take care,

Laurie

I have expressed the following thoughts before on several blogs. However, I believe they are worth repeating. Caregiver burnout is a major issue for those with this awesome responsibility. Don’t overlook the role of humor to make things more bearable. Things that made me angry and frustrated when my mother (who had dementia)was alive, in retrospect are filled with funny happenings. This is true too for the many caregivers who read my blog and contact me about my book which emphasizes humor as a healing balm. Caregivers need all the emotional support they can get. Dementia is a disease that knows no boundaries. It is blind to the
categories in which we usually place our fellow human beings. It can occur at the age of 55 or 85. It can happen to Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, males and females, rich and poor. It will not spare ex-presidents or ex-prime ministers. It did not spare my mother. Tears are shed by husbands and wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters—in fact anyone responsible for the care of a loved one with dementia.
