Most people would agree that health care professions can be very stressful. But how do family caregivers reduce stress? Unlike the professionals who have set hours and regular vacation days, they are responsible 24/7 for their loved one. When you are the primary caregiver for a family member it is easy to forget that the things you do are considered work. Employers know that workers need time off. Well it's time you realized that as a family caregiver you need a break too.The first step to reducing stress is to admit that you can't do it all, all the time.

Mr. President:I know that you are a very busy man so I will try to keep my questions about health care reform and the recently passed legislation as short and simple as possible.- I could ask you why you think this is a good piece of legislation even though I truly believe that it will be a failure and will come very close to bankrupting the country. The basis for my conclusion has nothing to do with political partisanship (in fact, I have never voted for a Republican for national office in my life.) From my perspective, "Obama Care" never effectively addressed the root causes of our escalating health care costs: Americans eat too much of the wrong kinds of food, they exercise far too little, they are overweight, they smoke too much, and they are getting older. This legislation does not address these causes, it just raises taxes and moves money around within the bureaucracy. I could ask you about this but I will not.- I could ask you why you have not stepped forward and denounced those in your party that have likened Americans like myself, i.e. those that have legitimate and honest concerns about this health care reform bill, to the racists who fought against the civil rights...more
