Proving care and support to a family member or as a career can be exceptionally rewarding, challenging, emotional and even heroic. Knowing that your interactions are impacting someone’s life directly can be overwhelming. Also, having someone rely on you heavily for care can be a lot to manage. Remember that “you can’t pour from an empty cup, so make sure you take care of yourself too”. We’ve put together just a few inspiring quotes that we go to as caregivers that remind us why we do what we do and the impact that we are having!
