Being a carer can be a full time job and when it ends, for whatever reason, it can be traumatising. You were needed almost every second of every day and used to not thinking of your own needs, instead putting others before yourself.
Death of a loved one is something incredibly hard to deal with but inevitable for all of us, as I was once told "the only things in life you can’t avoid are death and taxes".
As I was looking through some forums for carers I found a topic called "ex-carers".
One quote in particular stood out and I wanted to share it. If this strikes a note with you we would love to know about your experiences and feelings as you are perhaps dealing with a change from being a carer why not leave us a comment below!
