Honesty

Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself. William Shakespeare

Honesty is the best policy.  First, we must be honest with ourselves.  With family members coming, there is more opportunity for stress for me.  Difficult situations, and, certainly, a person dying can be called difficult, can bring out difficult dynamics among people.  As caregivers, our first responsibility is to take care of our own health.  The next responsibility we have is to make good choices for our loved one.
