The different facets of caregiving as a community support network

One dimension we don’t often discuss is the relational dynamics of caregiving. I focus on eldercare/caring for my parents, but many friends care for their spouse, child, or sibling.

Caregiving stretches far beyond blood ties these days. Various forms of kinship care, care communities, or caring amongst chosen family are being formed.

Caregiving for someone who has health issues or a disability is different when they’re your parent or older, compared to when it’s your child.

I’m not familiar with caregiving for a child, but I’d like to hold more space for those experiences as well as other types of caregiving.

This is why I’m building a community network of resources that embraces the different facets of caregiving - from anthologies to discussion forums - Take a look.
