Stress

"Stress is a leading cause of disease. Peace of mind is necessary for healing." Dr. Joan Borysenko

No matter how much we strive to control our stress as caregivers, we will have periods when it seems too much:   too much responsibility, too much to pay for, too many decisions to be made, too much work to be done by one person.  A person was recently complaining to me that some water damage in his home was going to cost $8000 to repair.  I replied that I pay $8000 every month for the care of my loved one.  Puts things in perspective, perhaps.  The money drain is a real issue and a cause for stress.  How do you manage to handle the stress of caregiving?
