“What is it like to be a caregiver?"

When our group of caregivers wished we had had helpful ways to explain the chaos of our situations, I created this little “I need you to know” graphic description, a picture of caregiving as it feels to me.

​

This visual has helped bring understanding into the conversations of families and friends where at first it was difficult to bring up the topic or to discuss it at all.

​

Copy 4" x 6" image. Print it out and frame it.  Place it where others will see it. Allow it to stimulate a conversation that could help you explain your life as it really is.

 

Maybe it will encourage questions.  I hope it will lighten your burden as you find support from those who understand.

​

Share this caregiver graphic to help start your conversation.”  It is free to download or copy. Files are pdf and you can open them before saving them.
