• The Daily Grind

Welcome to our Daily Grind forum. As executive editor of Caring Today magazine and caringtoday.com, I just wanted to take this opportunity to explain how this part of our site can help you, and help you help others.

All of us who are caregivers know how hard it can be to deal with the job on the outside and the caregiving work on the inside. And even if you don't have a job outside the home, the juggling act is no easier. There are health issues, financial matters, doctor appointments, maybe therapy. Then there's just taking care of the healthy members of the family while making sure all is okay with the loved one in your care.

So each of us has our tricks for making it all work. Here's where you can share what you've learned.

And if you're finding your methods aren't working or you haven't been able to get the balance right, here's where you can read what works for others.

It's all about sharing what we know. Sometimes you give and sometimes you get. Tell your fellow caregivers what works for you.
