Caring for someone who cannot fully care for themselves — a parent, a partner, a child with illness or disability — is one of the most demanding and often least acknowledged forms of work in human life. Caregiving occurs at the intersection of love and exhaustion, selflessness and self-loss, and it reshapes the caregiver's life as thoroughly as the person being cared for. This area covers practical caregiving skills, navigation of care systems, and the emotional terrain of a role that most people enter unprepared.
