How Can Caregivers Support Loved Ones Dealing with Anger?
Caregivers play a vital role in supporting cancer patients. To help manage anger, caregivers can:
Listen: Provide a non-judgmental space for the patient to express their feelings. Encourage Professional Help: Suggest therapy or counseling if the anger becomes overwhelming. Educate Themselves: Understanding the emotional impact of cancer can help caregivers respond more empathetically. Set Boundaries: It's important for caregivers to maintain their own mental health and set limits if needed. Participate in Activities: Engage in activities that the patient enjoys to help distract and uplift their mood.
