Caregiving Over the Holidays
To quote AARP, "For some family caregivers, the holidays can be a joyful time when spirits are lighter. It feels good to care for loved ones and enjoy time together, celebrating with family traditions. But for many the holidays also bring added stress – an already busy caregiver finds there’s even more to do during the holidays. Something’s gotta give!" During our virtual support call, we will discuss some ideas and share tips with one another to help make it through the holiday season with more joy and less stress.
