Helpful Way to Think About Caregiving: Six Stages

I came across an online radio broadcast about the Six Stages of Caregiving that aired earlier today (Thursday). The stages are described on the Caregiving.com website, and were developed by Denise M. Brown, who runs The Center for Family Caregivers in Park Ridge, Ill. The site is a little difficult to navigate but stages of caregiving she describes: expectant, freshman, entrenched, pragmatic, transitioning, and godspeed - can be useful to those starting on the caregiving journey and offers some excellent suggestions for handling your changing role. The radio broadcast dealt with the first three stages and the next three stages will air next week.
