Caring for my husband is not a burden. But I wish things were different.
Lyn, full-time carer for her husband, David
Lyn, 62, became a full-time carer for her husband David after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in September 2013. To highlight the incredible role the carers play and the challenges they face, we asked Lyn to tell us more about her experiences. Read her blog post here.
If you give unpaid support to a member of your family or to a friend, who could not manage without your help, you are a carer. Caring can have a huge effect on you and your life. It is often forgotten that you can only care well if you care for yourself. For more information on caring, please read our page on being a carer.
