If you take just a half hour to compile basic medical information, you’ll save yourself tons of time and stress especially in the case of an emergency. Here's what to include in a health file to be prepared.
Family caregivers are the backbone of the American healthcare system. While providing the level of care and comfort seriously ill loved ones need, family caregivers often sacrifice a great deal of their personal and professional lives. Careers, relationships, finances, and even spiritual needs take a backseat to ensuring loved one s needs are met. The constant attention to another s needs, over time, often becomes a core part of a caregiver s identity. After caregiving, the primary caregiver often loses the means to fill all the empty time. The void can feel like a giant hole that has no earthly bottom. It is not uncommon for caregivers to feel guilty or depressed, confused over one s identity and purpose in life, and even lonely.
