Is Asking for Help Hard?
I am a natural helper. I help even when I’m not asked to sometimes (which may or may not be a problem), but it is really a struggle for me to ask others for assistance when I need it. Do you struggle with asking others to help you when caregiving gets really heavy? Who do you have as a trusted support person?

I used to be so stubborn when it came to asking for help. I always tried to do everything on my own. But then I came to the realization that my pride was getting the best of me- things were becoming too difficult to do independently, I would become tired easily or end up getting hurt. Now, I am OK with askjng for help because I know my health and safety is more important.
My trusted support person is my husband. He is always putting my needs first and takes care of me in every situation!
