Breakdown
I am recovering from Carers Breakdown.
I am having a rest at a retreat house currently.
It has been so traumatic and as a Carers Ambassador I never felt this could happen to me. My husband is now in a care home.
I could tell my story of caring over the past 10 years but apart from our personal stories some long held views need to change I think.
Talk about your caring role.
Care as long as you can.
When you cannot accept it.
When you are no longer coping say so.
You are not to blame.
