Senior Care in Greenwich

When You Feel Guilty Asking For Help

Are feelings of guilt holding you back from seeking professional help with senior care for your loved one in Greenwich? If so, Visiting Angels^® Stamford would like to share some insight about the illogical source of this guilt, in the hopes of helping you overcome it.

Misguided Beliefs Are Behind Caregiver Guilt

Caregiver guilt is almost always based on illogical beliefs that have their origin in good intentions and character but go too far. For example, the top two we hear most often are:

I should be able to handle this myself. Even if you could do it all yourself, you almost certainly would not be doing it all well. Not to mention, if you fall apart, what will happen to your loved one then?

They don’t want an outsider helping. This is normal and actually natural for seniors to begin to feel vulnerable and therefore suspicious. In many cases, just acknowledging their fear, but explaining that it’s really you who needs the help for your own well-being, your loved one will be much less resistant. Point out that accredited agencies take great care in carefully vetting caregivers and making sure they are matched carefully.
