Heard your soothing talk. It was Godsend. I was feeling frustrated and irritable after having completed all my daily chores, leaving one last task of changing diapers for my aged mother with dementia. In fact, I have a day time Attender for my mother, besides a 24x7 Attender for my father aged 89 years. I have a Cook too and a maid. Believe me, in spite of all this, it gets very difficult at times as managing all these people is a challenge in itself. Thank you for the encouraging talk which helped me bounce back to normal. 🙏

Ma'm , i think the stress gets compunded when you have to be a caregiver for a difficult elderly person ... My MIL has fractured her shoulder and knee due to a fall and is recovering in my home . Relations with her were never very good..She is highly obsessed with her son even till date and was very upset when he married me ( it was a love marriage ). In the initial days she & my fil stayed with us and she tried her best to create problems and a rift. Even now , she constantly badmouths me and my parents for no reason. She is the same way with her extended family too . Constantly fights with her husband too. In fact they never talk unless it is about food or the kids. Now that I am faced with this situation , I try and take it one day at a time , exercise a bit and keep my interaction with her very matter of fact and minimum. I think it is easier when we have to take care of a loved one as compared to when you have to take care of someone with whom u have difficult relations ... the only way to do it properly is to be detached and treat it as a duty ...I just left like leaving this comment ...bcoz i am in this situation for the last couple of months .

Every word is true! Beautiful message. It’s quite exhausting and stressful but equally fulfilling. No one really talks about this and especially the guilt. Sometimes I do feel miserable spending the best part of my years tending to someone while others are enjoying their lives and the guilt is very real and painful. But very true: it’s all Gods will and our choice to care and love our loved ones.

Thank you Gita mam. I hv also undergone with all these. My father-in-law was 97 yrs old when he passed away. Before that he was in coma for almost a month. We did our best and the best support i got from my children especially from my daughter -in-law. As you said i was very cool and took care if myself too. Such a nice video it was. Once again thank you. I like all your video.

Well spoken Mam I was undergoing this for 8 years when my mother was old Very few people understand this difficulty of care giver In that time I used to get irritated with everybody

Such a true message. I too have gone through this since the past so many years. But I have always served everyone with love and care. At 70, I am taking care of my m-in-law, aged 94. We have to do our duty. Very inspiring. Mrs. Viswanathan. 👌👌

Food for thought Madam! Some years ago, I faced a similar situation.And the caregiver suffers from the trauma when the loved persons succumb to the inevitable! A degree of spiritual detachment is necessary but it comes late.Thank you for articulating my thoughts.

Thank you ma'am. it was like you were talking just for me. Going through a very exhausting phase,with both parents fracturing their hips back to back, further falls,tantrums et al.and things are at the challenging best right now,with no time for kids(ofcourse they are grown ups), no time to relax or for a proper sleep..It was a wonderful soothing short session.. Thank you 🙏..Much love from Kerala.

Mrs Geeta, your talks inspires us

Your words are very affectionate and consoling reassuring as my own mother,

Thank you for your words of wisdom.. I wish I heard this 19 years ago when I looked after my m-i-l. I struggled with 3 children and a full-time job. I was exasperated at times by her sturboness as she had Alzheimers, but I wish I could have done more.. she was a good person. Thank you for your encouraging words and for helping people to cope. Watching from Australia.

Dear Geeta aunty , I don't know you personally, but I love your nice videos🎉 This one was also excellent 🎉 Wise, kind, mature , ...like a mother talking to her daughter 🎉 But just a few things: 1. When a mother takes care of her child , she knows that she has to do this for maximum 4 or 5 years and then children soon become independent. They have to because the mom cannot accompany them everywhere: to the school, playground, friends 'house, etc. But while caring for an aging parent , one never knows whether the loved one will be around till they are 80, or 85 or 90 or 95.....😢 Also while handling our children when they are infants our age is generally between 20 to 30 or 35🎉 But while handling aged parents etc, the caregiver son/ daughter are themselves 60 or 65 etc and the dear old sick or ailing or bedridden parent is 85 or 90. Makes a lot of difference 🎉😢😊🙏🙏🙏🎊🎉💜💛♥️💙💕💕

Thank you amma; I needed to hear this today. I was particularly overwhelmed with all the chaos in my life. What you said is correct; one does need to care of one's own health in the midst of caring for others.

Pranam Amma,🙏you explained so well........this comes in our lives we have to do our duties.......gone thru this for many people in my lives.........My parents ,My aunts ,and my uncles .....all in 1 family itself MANY have gone and this still ,it's there.........

Dear aunty, your words are so comforting and full of wisdom. Thank you for making these videos.

Very Nice information/ Guidelines.

For those of us who are being taken care of by others, your video is an eye opener.

Ma’am you are best , I take great inspirations from you

Very informative tips. Thank you madam.

I was feeling down when I heard your talk . Thanks for your talk

Thank you Geeta Ma'am for your thoughtful,soothing & encouraging words. We are so stressed that we forget there is a world beyond us where many are like us .❤❤

5I have been taking care of my mom for the past 15 yrs. She is 97 now, a psychiatric patient and very difficult to handle of late.I myself suffered from depression few yrs ago but managed to come out of it after great effort. But I have got IBS for the past 6yrs due to high stress level as my mil was also bed ridden for 2 yrs due to a stroke and i had to care for both of them. Fortunately the hired help was good and took care of my mil.

Love that you covered the range of emotions, especially the negative, that are possible & often happen on most people's part. You are truly wise 🙏

Beautiful message. Thanks for stressing on the important fact that caregiver has to take care of his physical and mental health also which is often forgotten. Timely reminder. Many thanks

Dear Geeta madam, just now I watched your latest video about how to overcome stress. As you said Acceptance is very correct, relaxing ourselves by watching tv, listening to music is very true.i myself is undergoing the same situation, i do my duty, pray to God to give me good health to take care both, & doing service thinking she is a goddess in my house.it was very soothing to listen to your suggestions. God is great.May God bless you. Om Sairam Om Sairam Om Sairam.🙏🙏🙏

u r really Amazing person.. Luv u loads Mam..Food for thought

A very important topic... A truth... A Fact..discussed by you... Great solutions.. Sp the last line... Its a nesessity not luxury👍..besides this maam ur saree is beautiful ❤️...

Gita ji, I wish I could bow down to you and take your blessings. You told the Golden words. Many a times I also felt the question"why me" with no answers coming in. You helped me improve my perspective. I am taking care of my mother who is 80 years. I have no one to support as I am not married. I need to go out and work as well as take care of my mother. It is very challenging. Thank you so much.

Very nice words as always!!! Made me to recall My post pregnancy!!! 1st child my grandmother …. Along taking care of my baby Partially my father in law …. He had a peaceful end… 2nd baby Post pregnancy My mother almost for 6 years Ufffff!!!!! Last my mother in law…. She passed away 4 months back . Reading below comments I salute every human who have crossed this phase And many thanks to You for choosing this topic👍🏻 Failed in taking care of myself 😫 Now to add… taking care of my dad… feel very proud of myself!!!

Lovely vlog Inspiring 😊

Nice subject 👍

Real problem real solutions. Thanks

Well explained 👏👏,thank you mam

Thank you so much ma'am. I was really feeling very low and probably that's why God brought this video before me. It really is so frustrating not being able to do anything to improve their condition and seeing them deteriorating in front of your eyes. Listening to you felt as though God only was reassuring me. Thanks a lot l will definitely follow what you said ❤

Ma'am, thank you so much for sharing 🙏. You are awesome, you are very inspiring 👍

Gitamma, it's true that your words are applicable for caregivers that too home makers(Ladies) at each and every home.

Very good suggestions and advice madam,it is so soothing and reassuring for many, thank you so much😊

Nice, reality, love you volg

हhello Gita ji u explain such a wonderful way u always motivates us thank you so much stay blessed n support us

Your conclusion is marvellous❤

Namaste mam.Thanks for choosing the need of the topic caregivers stress. I am sure your soothing words provide a great comfort and best tonic for the caregivers inspite of the challenges they have undergone.Wonderful vlog.

Yes amma it's very true.

This is your best and most useful video till date Gitaji...

Beautifully said and very practical. Especially the last words. I too faced a similar situation when my mother had a hip fracture. I took the help of an attendant since I was working. But even today I still feel I could hv taken better care of her or my father both of whom are no m😞

A wonderful video posted by you Gita madam. Each one of us will face such situations in our lives at some time or the other where we have to be caregivers. That is God's way of telling us to show our love and empathy to others. Though it comes with a lot of mental, physical and financial stress, we need to accept such situations also as part of life and do our duties to the best of abilities. Your talks are truly inspiring madam and the background looks lovely too.

Namaste maam today's video was soothing. You told about the care for your MIL, even I felt the same .

Thanks Geeta ma. Always ur morning bytes comes in roght time n gives lot of solace.👍🙏

Excellent Madam. Every word is true. Thank you.

Soooooper message was given by u mam. Thank u verymuch for yr motivational speech🙌🏻👌👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😀😀😀

Thank you so much for this lovely video Gita ma'am. I was doing this caregiving for my parents from time to time when they were alive. Now when I think back, I feel grateful for the opportunity to shower my love and care when they needed it most. As you correctly said, I too wonder if I could have done more. Now, my 95 year old MIL will be coming to live with us. She is in good health and does her self care independently but this video has given me a good reminder if at all a situation comes up in future (though I pray that she remains well ) ❤

Aum namah sivaya Dear Gitaji, Thank you for another sincere and helpful video. Though not easy, we benefit from being caregivers. We also need care and encouragement and this video provides that. I watch your videos from the US because I'm inspired by the sacrifice and contribution you make for us. Of all things to watch on KZfaq, I know that Gita's Kitchen will be wholesome and I will learn something. Thank you. 🙏🏼🩷

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic amma... This is something which needs to be spoken about more so that some support (in any form) can be extended to the caregivers to lighten their burden in some way.... 🙏💫

Absolutely right. I am taking care of all these points in taking care of my husband who is not well for the past 5 months.❤

Very true ....thanq so...much for your guiding and soothing words ! Excellent video!!

Thanks Gita Mam I am taking care of my mother and I am working woman something I get tired but again I pushed myself , remember that she also took care of my sons in their childhood now my sons also help me in granny s work

Mam when u say ask for help its not that easy, in a city like Mumbai. Hired help is available but the rates for trained and good quality people are astronomical( I have one of late but she too is leaving.)

Amma, my mom has become bedridden due to fall last week. I am alone with my 9 year old son. No support. I am working also. No maid or cook. Totally exhausted mentally and physically. But just doing my dharma trusting in Lord Narayana. Just Trusting him. Please pray for my mother's speedy recovery

My mother in law was totally bedriden for fifteen years, unable to unfoldhed legs while removing orwearing adult diperor eating, like her I have cared for seven old people, for somebody adviced me while leaving the world soul needs assured helping hand that might be yours so i have overcame safely with God and persons blessings

You look so beautiful in this sari

Thank you mam

Hi mam I am married for 14 years. I take care of my in laws and my husband well. My in laws stay in hometown. We stay in city. Every time whenever my mother in law visits us she wants what ever we have at home. Example electric kettle. She does not us it in home town but she wants.. My husband never gives emotional support and financial support to me. My mother in law wants to upper hand in my home.. How can I make my husband understand my need
