Five Questions All Caregivers Should Ask Themselves

Are you prepared to take on the responsibility of caregiving? How do you know if

you can handle the commitment of having your parent move in? What signals alert

you that you are in trouble of getting lost in caregiving? How do you know when

caregiving has become too much and its time to think about other arrangements?

Many of us dove into caregiving with full hearts and no planning, then ended up

sustaining this life-altering mode for months and often years. But at some point

as a caregiver, you need to have a honest, realistic talk with yourself. You

will, eventually need to include others in your final decisions, but some

honest, quiet soul searching can help you sort out your own priorities and

determine how much you can handle.
