April 04, 2009 - If you are providing full-time care for an aging parent or family member, you will probably never view the world exactly the same way again. While caring for your loved one, you may think about what your own future holds as you near your final days. Rebecca Sharp Colmer, CSA, said, “It is almost impossible not to think about your own mortality as you watch someone you love grow old and die.”
“For some care givers this is a wake-up call to lead a healthier, purposeful life,” said Rebecca during a recent interview. “These care givers understand the importance of having a plan for aging and retirement. Some care givers are overcome with hidden emotions of guilt, resentment, anger, fear and grief as they become paralyzed with dread over getting older.”
Rebecca stressed the importance of caregivers taking the necessary steps to avoid increased stress and burnout. “Acknowledge your emotions and discuss your feelings with a friend or family member,” said Colmer. “Care givers need emotional support, information and resources as they learn to focus on the joys and not the challenges. It is never too late to plan the rest of your life.”
