times have changed and so has unpaid care!
We're not in the 1950's any more! many people juggle caring with work, we don't live 'round the corner' from our loved ones, caring is hard physically and mentally, not just popping in for a cuppa and a chat. We get isolated, depressed, ill, out of touch with friends and family, stressed from arguing with authorities who don't understand and have no resources. We lose our quality of life as much as the person we care for. We become carers in an instant, it doesnt end until our loved one dies
