Caregiving is complex. Just as the needs of the person for whom care is being provided may differ from day to day, the caregiving experience may also differ. Caregivers may sometimes spend so much time and energy on the other person that they can let their own needs fall to the wayside. Paying attention to health is an important task for everyone, but caregivers need to take care of their own health, both physical and emotional, in order to continue providing care for their family member, relative, or friend.
