When Caregiving Feels Like Too Much: Permission to Ask for Help


Listen Later

When caregiving starts to feel like too much, many family caregivers push through in silence — overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure where to turn. In this heartfelt episode of the Daily Senior Safety Advice Podcast, host Esther Kane — a retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist — gives caregivers something they rarely receive: permission to ask for help. Esther explores the emotional weight of caregiver guilt, the physical and mental signs of burnout, and the practical steps caregivers can take to find support without feeling like they've failed. Drawing on her clinical background, she shares why asking for help isn't a sign of weakness — it's what makes sustainable caregiving possible.
