No one ever auditions for this job. There's no amount of preparation that can adequately get a person ready to step into the role of caregiver. At what point does caregiving turn to caregrieving? It's easy to become empty, burdened and fatigued but this is one job you can't walk away from. My eyes were opened to the reality of it all. Took me 4 years but one day, it all got real!
