E47: Reconnecting After Respite

This Caregiver Life ™

Jenn and Mar took some much needed time away during the month of July. They share the value of taking a pause from the heavy demands of their caregiving responsibilities, work, podcasting, and other activities in life that pull on them. They talk about how it is not easy to take time away for respite or to go on a retreat while living This Caregiver Life yet how powerful it can be to do so.

There are some resources available for caregivers who need respite and may need some assistance in getting it:

• National Respite Network: https://archrespite.org/
• Lifespan Respite Technical Assistance Center: https://lifespanrespite.wildapricot.org/consumer
• National Family Caregiver Support Program: https://acl.gov/programs/support-caregivers/national-family-caregiver-support-program
• Specifically for military/veteran caregivers: hiddenheroes.org/respite

Caregiver stories are the backbone of This Caregiver Life podcast. It is the stories of others that can often help us in our time of need. If you are a caregiver and would like to share your story on This Caregiver Life podcast we'd love to hear from you. Email us at [e-mail] and give us a brief overview of your caregiver life. We look forward to hearing from you!
