> Are you caring for a spouse, a parent or loved one and feeling  
> stressed emotionally, financially or physically due to the  
> challenges of this care?  Many caregivers share a similar experience  
> as they juggle the demands of work, family and caring for their  
> loved one. Too often, in trying to meet the demands of all these  
> interests, they neglect to care for themselves!
