THE CANCER JOURNEY
Caregivers and Co-Survivors
As a caregiver or co-survivor, you have a journey of your own that may involve changes in your relationships and new insights into who you are. In many ways, your journey is similar to that of the person going through cancer. The acceptance of this disease as part of your life will require its own focused attention.
Hiring a professional caregiver can ease challenges and lighten the load.
Navigating the emotional and practical hurdles of caring for parents and stepparents.
Sorting out the emotions of loss.
Overwhelmed spouse caregivers take control of stress.
Involving children in cancer caregiving may lessen fears and help with understanding.
Struggling with the sorrow of anticipatory grief.
