Supporting your caregiver
While your caregiver may find caring for you rewarding and meaningful, they may also find their role difficult at times.1 Your caregiver may be trying to cope with feelings of sadness, fear, anger, guilt and loneliness, while also being physically tired.2 Use the information in this section to help your caregiver give you the support you need and look after themselves at the same time.
Helping your carer give you the support you need
The type of support you need, whether it is practical or emotional, and how often that support is needed may change over time.2 Although it may be difficult, talking about what you need may help your caregiver provide the right support at the right time.
