Care for the Caregivers

Betsy Wurzel, a nurse by training, became a personal caregiver to two family members afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by her experiences, she offers support to caregivers. In this interview she talks about:

• The impact of caregiving on caregivers, physically, emotionally, mentally

• Life after caregiving (yes, it does exist)

• The necessity of self-care for the caregiver

• Dealing with guilt, PTSD, and other impacts

• Asking for help.
