During your catch-up with Cassie, she opens up with you because you now have a strong and trusting relationship together. She says lately Theo has been working long shifts at work and Max and Seb have a lot of extra-curricular activities on during the week.

Cassie has noticed the increased physical dependency of Sasha and although her mum comes over more during the week to help, overall, she's struggling to cope with all the things she needs to do in a week. "I'd give anything for a day off a fortnight, just to get things done for myself and have some breathing space! I'm more 'on call' now than in all the years I spent nursing!"

Cassie could use some day respite care. In a progressive illness, such as Sasha's, this type of support can be highly beneficial for family caregivers. What can you do to help? Access this website,
