Caregiving is tough – but very rewarding. I would take care of my dad again and again. You really learn a lot about yourself while you’re taking care of someone else.
For nine months, Joyce and her sister shared caregiving responsibilities for their father. During this time, Joyce worked full time while she and her husband were raising two teenage sons. Joyce attended a Caregiver Champions group and enjoyed it so much that she became one of our Champions. Joyce wants to help caregivers adopt a “can do” attitude and increase their confidence levels.
