As Caregivers we often take on a lot and can get exhausted. It is important to learn how to ask for help - maybe other family members, friends, or neighbors can help take on some tasks and make life a little easier for the Caregiver. For many of us it is hard to ask others for help - we feel like we are imposing, or feel shy to ask. But, it is a really important skill to know how to ask for help.

So, how do you ask for help with your Caregiving?
