Accept your feelings. You are probably riding a roller coaster of emotion right now. From day to day, difficult emotions may surface, such as anger, resentment, fear, guilt, helplessness and grief. These feelings are a normal response to the stress and the changes occurring in your life, so give yourself permission to feel them.
Confide in others. Talk to people about your feelings; don’t keep your emotions bottled up. Caregiver support groups can be invaluable, but a trusted friend or family member with a willing ear can be helpful, too. You may also consider the benefits of speaking with a therapist or counselor.
