    This advice is often repeated but for such good reason. It is so important for caregivers to care for themselves. It not only is better for them but better for the loved ones that they are watching after.

    Taking care of yourself is always the first step.
    It is not being selfish. It is really the unselfish thing to do for your loved one.
