Why I feel more like a nurse than a wife

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.

At the Elder Law Practice, one of our goals is to help you find resources that enable you to care for your loved ones without sacrificing your relationship. Call us at 706-428-0888 if you have questions about how we can help.
