My care receiver and I need to get our lives back together after a recent disaster. But I am so stressed. Is this normal?
It's normal to feel stressed. Disasters leave us all fearful and anxious. Caregivers are faced with making important decisions regarding their care-receiver’s needs and/or rebuilding and starting over. Stress levels are up and people talk about being anxious and afraid. Even though the skies are clear and the threat has passed, we still worry. Because our lives have been turned upside we may continue to feel anxious.
If you are dealing with rebuilding or repairing your home and trying to sort things out with the insurance company, you may be feeling especially stressed. This is a particularly difficult time for caregivers. While caregivers frequently have family and friends to turn to, there are times when you feel as if you must make decisions on your own.
