  • Lorraine's Story of overcoming burnout from Caring
    Jan 30 2025

    Lorraine shared her experience as a carer for her mother, who deteriorated health-wise after turning 80, requiring round-the-clock care. Lorraine and her two sisters took turns caring for their mother, often at the expense of her own health and the impact that had for Lorraine's mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the situation, leading to increased stress and isolation. Lorraine shares her story of living through burnout and reaching her breaking point and emphasized the importance of recognizing the signs of burnout and seeking help. Despite the challenges, Lorraine highlighted the need for making good memories and the eventual recovery process. She urged caregivers to seek support early and not feel guilty for taking breaks and you will get through it you just need to give yourself time to heal.
