“Caregiving is demanding, but everyone needs a break. Seeking help does not make you a failure... because you will have a chance to rest, recharge, and avoid burnout.” –
Taking a vacation as a family caregiver might seem impossible. However, your own health is important, and a vacation is a great way for you to relax and ward off the physical and emotional effects of caregiver stress.
There are so many details and worries to deal with as a caregiver that it might seem simpler to just give up on the idea of a vacation. But we have an easy checklist that can help you have a stress-free vacation to get the break you need.

"It is so important as a caregiver not to become so enmeshed in the role that you lose yourself. It’s neither good for you nor your loved one."

"Taking time away from care giving demands will leave a caregiver refreshed and renewed, allowing them the opportunity to re-energize to be a more effective caregiver."
