As a caregiver you may need to provide for all aspects of your loved one or friend's comfort. In addition to ensuring your loved one's physical comfort, you can also provide emotional and spiritual comfort.

Your loved one or friend may experience emotional and spiritual pain. They are experiencing many losses including the loss of control over their own life. It is important for you to continue to explain what is happening with your loved one or friend's care, condition, and any other changes. Talk with a social worker, clergy, or spiritual caregiver to help you find resources for additional emotional and spiritual support.

Take some time each day to talk to your loved one or friend about their feelings. Be patient and listen to what they want to share with you. Whatever feelings they have - let them know that they have a right to feel that way; do not try and talk them out of their feelings. Your loved one or friend may wish to discuss their fears or concerns with someone else - encourage them to do so. Offer to contact a friend, counselor or chaplain, and give them privacy when they discuss these issues with another.

Caregiving Today and www.ezcaregiving.com were created for you, the caregiver, to help you enhance your loved one's quality of life and provide emotional and spiritual support as well as access to an array of caregiving solutions.
