One in four persons is involved in caring for a family member—one in four! Often, the hardest part is dealing with one’s own emotions: guilt, anger, fear, grief, loss and love. Acknowledging these feelings is critical to moving on.

Information is power. There is a vast difference between being a responsible caregiver and becoming a martyr. The talk centers on finding the people, places and programs one can turn to for help.
