While I know that this article is meaning well, I don't know many, if any, caregivers who can actually bring themselves to follow the advice being given. Especially during the holidays, it becomes even harder to ask for help, because your person receiving care needs you even more emotionally. And, I myself feel like I don't want to disrupt other people's holiday plans, by askng for extra time from them. It's not that I don't think they can help, but it can oftentimes feel selfish to me.
