@thecaregiverspodcast: I love them, and I resent this. Guest: Elaine K. Sanchez, founder of CaregiverHelp.com, caregiver speaker, and author of Letters from Madelyn, Chronicles of a Caregiver, in conversation with Dr. Mark on The Caregivers Podcast. Can you love someone and still resent caring for them? Elaine K. Sanchez says yes. Most caregivers do. You can love them and resent what caregiving has taken from you. The lost freedom. The lost partnership. The person they used to be. The life you used to have. One caregiver described it as operating two nervous systems. You are taking care of their body, their food, their needs, their safety. And you still have to take care of yourself. For years. How could resentment not show up? If this clip resonated with you, the full conversation goes much deeper into caregiver resentment, guilt, burnout, grief, lost partnership, and family caregiving.

I’ve been a Caregiver 30 years. I wouldn’t change it for nothing. I love my clients. I did have one client that was really hard. Best thing for me to do was to step down not that I was tired. She was so disrespectful but all my other clients were fantastic. I still have a Caregiver as I speak right now I care for my brother, but stage four prostate cancer. I have another client that schizophrenic depression OCD she’s my favourite her and I have classes we talk. She tells me what she’s going through and she’s only 56 years old, but I know God put her in my path for a reason.

I care for my 102 yr old grandmother with dementia and my father with dementia and Parkinson’s. I have to do every single thing for both of them alone. Plus I have a senior dog. My father is an angel 😇😇. My grandma gets wild. Trying to get out of bed all night!! My dad is bed bound. She can’t walk. In a wheelchair. I’m exhausted. I go with no sleep most days. 😢 I adore them . This is the hardest .

CaregiverRelief :
This is possible because you feel like the only reason you’re a caregiver is because of the person you care for and if you were the type of person that had a very active life(maybe jobs or a active social life) you feel like your care recipient made you miss out on all of that hence why that resentment might develop.
