EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Caring can bring to the surface many emotions – both good and bad, all of which are a natural part of caring. Many carers they may feel that they have no one to talk and do not want to burden their friend and family.

Sometimes it can help to talk to people who are not emotionally involved with the situation and other carers who may be sharing similar experiences, thoughts and feelings.
