The greatest threat to caregivers is isolation
Caregiving isolates us--
physically from family, friends & positive social relationships
emotionally from care receiver
spiritually from God--Is THIS all there is? WHAT is the point?
The 3 primary causes of isolation:
Principles, ethics, morals, standards, expectations, spirituality
Pain
Plan-lessness leading to Panic
Cures for Caregiving Isolation:
humbly ask for help (contrast Proverbs 19:20 vs 27). Which are you?
build team around care receiver
schedule breaks, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
identify with fellow caregivers
eat well
MOVE! (follow Howard Luks on X/Twitter)
