A video clip from Dr. Phil shows him interviewing the wife of someone with a chronic illness, pointing out the strain on caregivers. One of the points made is that you can’t give what you don’t have, so you must make time to take care of yourself. The clip is available at the following link.

Also, on the video clip, attention is called to www.wellspouse.org and to the AARP online caregiver community.
