Looking after an elderly patient in family ??
Credit yourself for the immense patience, sacrifices and perseverance
exhibited in taking over the responsibility of taking care of elderly patient
in the family. The activity carried out
single handed is overwhelming and generates feeling of despair and
disappointment leading to depression. One cannot accomplish everything alone
hence stay connected with other family members for help when required. Network with persons in similar situation,
share your concerns, seek support and get some tips. Organise systematically
the requisite information/documentation related to ailment to enable easy and
comfortable retrieval to avoid panic attacks. Take a break when required for
much needed rest to recharge yourselves, paying attention to other things in
your life including your physical & emotional health.
