A year of living and caregiving through COVID-19 has pushed many caregivers beyond their physical, emotional and mental limits. I know that I am probably like many other caregivers, struggling to survive a global health crisis with little or no respite.
The compounded fatigue, daily stressors, isolation and no ability to bring in assistance because of the coronavirus make caregiving seem impossible sometimes. I know I have hit the “I can’t do it” wall during the last 12 months of pandemic caregiving.
It is time for respite care for me and, I imagine, most informal caregivers.
What is respite care?
