Caring, either within the family or professionally, can be an incredibly rewarding experience.
💜
When someone allows you into their world to be their carer it is an absolute privilege and a demonstration of love and trust.
💙
Of course, many people do not have the choice either to be a carer OR to choose who cares for them.
💛
Being a carer OR being cared for can be a situation you find yourself in through necessity and that brings with it all manner of difficult feelings.
💚
The pressures of caring or being care for can lead to feeligns of frustration, resentment, anger, exhaustion, helplessness, grief, loss, compassion fatigue and burn out.
💗
Taking care of carers with counselling, supervision and training is a worthwhile investment not only for the carer’s own well-being but it has a knock on effect for the people being cared for, too.
💜
It is all too easy for forget that people who rely on care and their loved ones may also need support and counselling, too.
