Download A Free Guide to Dealing with Elderly Anger
Every experienced family caregiver knows that seniors have their good days
and bad days. Mood swings resulting from dissatisfaction, poor health,
stress, pain, and a loss of dignity can easily lead to your loved one
to lash out against you and others that they care about. Being a family
caregiver under these conditions can be particularly stressful for the
sandwich generation, who are “sandwiched” between living with
an elderly parent and caring for their own children. While dealing with
these feelings and the emotional strain they cause can require a considerable
amount of patience and empathy, there’s much more you can do than
simply hope for more good days than bad ones.
