Yes, emotionally overwhelming is kind of the biggest piece of it.

Lots of great resources.

I just wrote a Care for the Caregiver Guide for AARP this past year, and it's free.

You can get counseling.

I think counseling and some type of one-to-one therapeutic environment

could be really, really helpful.

Even if it's not ongoing, it's for periods of time that you need it.

So I really recommend that.

As caregiver support groups, I think connecting with other caregivers is maybe your top priority because we get it, you know?

We understand each other.

And it is a relief sometimes just to talk about it.

Oh, that's such a good question.

So many things.

I think I would say chill out a little bit.

You know, I can't control the diseases my loved ones have or what happens to them health-wise, but I can control my own mindset.

And I think that's the most important thing.

I've seen thousands and thousands of caregivers across my career, and people will have very similar situations, but they have very different attitudes and they come through it differently.

You know, it's not even the resources they have.

It's their mindset about it and how supported and at peace they feel with it.

And the biggest difference is their mindset.
