That is the biggest downside to care giving. You never get a break, holiday, or day off. If you ever do you are beset with guilt and anxious instead of relaxing. My wife and I had an idea called Respite Angels. We would care for those that needed care giving in their home while the primary care giver(s) went on a weekend retreat. It is still an idea that I have for a business but, it never came to fruition because of the logistics of it all. My wife is a CNA and we are both 1st responders, maybe I should look at this again.
