- When taking care of aging parents at home, they may have all the services in place that you were told they needed, but somehow, you still have caregiver stress. You want to know how to be a good family caregiver, how to make this work, but the caregiver burden can be so great at times that you don't even have time to wonder what else you could do. Most caregiver tips out there focus on the tasks and some of the superficial emotional elements of caregiving. But in this video, I'm going to take a deep dive into what really matters when your goal is to reduce caregiver stress, when you really want to make a difference. This is the secret sauce to caregiving! This could just change your family caregiver experience for good!

Thanks so much for making this video, it helped bring a lot of clarity and focus on what I need to for my mom; she recently had a stroke and so I am caring for her by myself. I don't feel resentment towards her, but mainly like I'm inadequate because I lost my job due to covid-19, and so I don't have the financial resources to give her the best equipment, services etc. But I just have to remind myself I'm doing the best I can with what I have, plus, I am happy she is at least on the road to recovery and able to be with me at home. Appreciate you for sharing this information.
I love your positive outlook! It absolutely sounds like you are doing the best you can for your mom under the circumstances! She is so lucky to have you. I hope she continues to recover smoothly!
My mother is 93 and has stage 4-5 Alzheimers. She has lived on her own for 31 years since my dad died. Mother is now on her third set of Carers who come twice a day to help her with meals, medication and basic household tasks. Mother refuses nearly all the offers of help because she still thinks she can do the tasks herself. She refuses to wear hearing aids, glasses orm to. To to use a walking stick. Her physical health is now starting to deteriorate but mother, even when at the doctor's,says there's nothing wrong with her. She will not consider physiotherapy on her wrecked arthritic knee, nor will she consider surgery. Mother gets a lot of help from all my family but we are gradually getting angry and frustrated with her selfish and dismissive attitude. There is only so much we and her carers can do before we put her in a Care Home.
It's very difficult situation to deal with. I pray everyday for help. Blessings to all.
It is difficult. My mother is 80, very stubborn and showing signs of dementia. I have no support from my sister to help with our mother.

You have to really block out useless family members. True colors show up when stuff hits the fan.
@@chrislim7976 you are absolutely right. It’s hard but as the oldest I feel it’s my job to take care of our mother.
@@CallMeBossLady
i am grateful my sister has been amazing. and I am the oldest too.
interesting the responsibility we feel and do.
@@chrislim7976 you are LUCKY!
I was just about to tell you I hope you are going to provide a part 2, and then you announced your website! I'm looking forward to it! My mom accused me of having an affair this weekend - because I took too long running HER errands. It sounds silly as I tell it, but in the moment, I was furious. She just had an EEG and MRI and we get the results Friday. I feel like she has Parkinson's because of her tremors. Great video!
@Chris Merck I wish I would have been nicer. Looking back, I should have known. She was diagnosed w Lewy Body dementia, took a nose dive and passed away in March. I’d give anything to argue w her today! I know it’s hard, but try to remember they will not be w you forever. And if they are not acting “themselves”, it’s probably because they are not.
Deep divers need support. Thank you for your videos.
Yes they do!
Sofia ~ Thanks so much for doing these videos. They are pragmatic and helpful, especially because you know what both older adults and their caregivers go through. All the best to you.
Thank you!!
