If you’re assisting someone with a terminal illness with their ADLs, it can be hard to remember that you are a person, too. You’re probably going through an incredibly stressful time, and it’s easy to forget that there is a life outside of your role as a caregiver—a life that needs attention, too.

But taking care of yourself is critical to being able to care for others. And here are just a few ways this can happen:

• You’ll feel better physically. Taking care of yourself through self-care improves your physical health and well-being, which means you’ll be better equipped to meet the needs of others.
• You’ll feel less burned out. Self-care helps reduce feelings of stress and exhaustion, so you can focus on providing care without those draining emotions.
• You’ll be better equipped emotionally. The more emotionally balanced you are, the better prepared you’ll be to help those who depend on you most during their final days or weeks of life.
