Support For Caregivers
Caregiving for your loved one through serious illness can be overwhelming.
Caregivers navigate a challenging journey, often tending to both the physical and emotional needs of their loved ones.
Those caring for a loved one with a progressive, life-threatening illness can be overwhelmed by the responsibility and difficulty of the role. They may also be experiencing anticipatory grief or feeling isolated if it is difficult to leave their loved one alone.
Cowichan Hospice's staff and volunteers offer emotional support and resources to those caring for their loved ones at the end of life.
The first step is to call to discuss how we can support you, as you support your loved one in the best way possible.
