“National Family Caregivers Month – celebrated each November — is a time to recognize and honor family caregivers across the country. “
Caregiver Action Network
According to the Caregiver Action Network, 90 million Americans provide care to a loved one. For those of us living with chronic conditions, this number likely includes our spouse and perhaps other family members. While these family members may not be living with a diagnosis, chronic illness can dramatically impact their lives as well.
November is National Family Caregivers month. If you have a spouse or family member who helps you manage your chronic illness, please take some time this month to tell them how much you appreciate their help!
