Alzheimer’s Caregiving: Great Resources for Coping With Emotions
Right At Home
As a family caregiver of a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed and often times, angry. The anger probably stems from being exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated. To make matters worse, it is also very difficult to make sense of the situation and your changing relationship with your loved one–and worse yet, no one to really target your anger towards.
The Duke Family Support Program offers a wide variety of well-written resources for caregivers who are trying to manage their emotions by helping them understand them. One particular resource, “Pressure Points: Alzheimer’s and Anger” helps caregivers navigate through their emotions in a compelling booklet. The booklet can be ordered for $8 through the site.
