In being the primary caregiver of my mother-in-law what I find is the hardest part of this experience is getting her children (my wife included)to elevate their level of insight regarding the care of their mother.
It is essential for family members to reinforce good caregiving by proving to the caregiver---that they (family members) are committed to providing care---
this entails cooperation with the insightcaregiver, listening to the concerns and the instruction of the insightcaregiver, as well as providing the insightcaregiver with all reasonable support.
This area of support will be expanded on in future posts---the support system is essential; in keeping families and insight-caregivers on the same page (in the book of caring) and to prevent premature burnout in regards to caring for someone.
