Caring for the Caregivers- Renee Panec, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, CCM, CPHQ Highlights"It brings up a lot of feelings, too, in caregivers in terms of not only overwhelm, but they may be sad about their current situation. They may experience feelings of... really of grief, of that loss of the life that they anticipated living. And now it's going to be a very different kind of life.And it's often unacknowledged.  From whatever kind of life they've been living, whether they were professionals and had a professional job, or if they were a mom home with the kids, it's still huge." ~Renee Panec, BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, CCM, CPHQAh-ha MomentsWhat happens to the caregiver when a patient is discharged home, and they must do everything else they were doing AND care for their loved one?Are you pouring from an empty cup?
