The Growing Problem of Loneliness in Disabled People
According to Sense's research 61% of disabled people are now feeling very lonely most of the time and this goes up to almost 70% for young disabled people.
Recent stats show that one in three people leave their job to become a full-time carer for their loved ones.
Sometimes life throws a curveball and the unexpected happens. Whether a loved one has been sick for a while or something sudden has occurred, you may be the only person in a position to help.
Caring for someone full time can be a huge financial and emotional strain in your life as well as challenging. Unpaid carers can often feel undervalued and overworked, with not much respite time to themselves.
However, being a carer has its upsides too. You get the chance to spend precious time with a loved one in their time of need and make treasured memories. In a way, this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
We spend most of our waking hours at work with little time to do anything else. We lose the time we once had as children to focus our time and effort on the ones we love, the ones that were there for us growing up.
Giving back to a family member can be hugely rewarding. Although it may be a big readjustment, it is a temporary situation and we my never get the chance to spend this time with this special person again.
