Give Grief A Chance Podcast
A podcast about bringing grief awareness out into the open. A project to help people connect, and share their experiences with grief and loss
On this week's podcast episode, I'm talking about the importance of self-care for caregivers. What do they tell you on an airplane when the oxygen mask comes down in front of you, "please put your own mask on first before assisting anyone else" because, only when we first help ourselves can we effectively help others. And if you are a caregiver and are not taking care of yourself, overtime the physical, emotional, and mental demands of caring for someone can become exhausting which will soon lead to extreme fatigue and burnout, but by taking care of yourself in a healthy way will help you to be the best caregiver you want to be. Enjoy!

Here's where I offer a few suggestions that might help you to become a little happier while grieving. Enjoy!
