The caregiver can suffer emotionally and physically from the loving care they\u2019re providing to someone else. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">This common problem, called compassion fatigue, is a term given to caregivers who might be helping someone injured, ill, or traumatized. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Caregivers usually have the best intentions as they help, but someone who is elderly, ill, or incapacitated can be an overwhelming burden on one\u2019s mental, physical, and emotional abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Compassion Fatigue VS Burnout<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Compassion fatigue is similar to burnout but is more unpredictable in its onset. Burnout usually takes longer to emerge whereas symptoms of compassion fatigue can arrive suddenly. Burnout can be so severe that someone experiencing it will even find it necessary to leave a job, or even an occupation entirely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">With compassion fatigue, someone can typically be treated much more easily, but there are specific things one must do for self-care while providing care for a loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Respite Care the Answer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">It\u2019s mandatory to rejuvenate between caregiving shifts. Compassion fatigue may create intense emotional pain and physical fatigue. Caregivers must watch for symptoms and then learn the tools to manage the stress healthily. If providing care for a senior parent, friend, or loved one, ask for assistance before things get too hard on you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">12 Common Symptoms of Caregiver Compassion Fatigue:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Feelings of inequity toward the caregiver relationship<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Loss of meaning in caregiving<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Withdrawal, isolation, or feelings of being disconnected<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Apathy or a lower threshold for compassion or empathy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Problems arising in other relationships<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Difficulty sleeping<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Destructive behaviours or substance abuse<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Unexplained headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Anger, irritability, anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Chronic exhaustion (emotional or physical)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Feelings of dread, impending disaster, or guilt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
