Caring for a loved one can be a huge psychological and physical burden. Many carers experience depression, distress, frustration, anxiety, social isolation, family strain, sleep deprivation, burnout, and adrenal fatigue. Carers can also feel a tremendous sense of loss—the loss, in part, of a partner or child as well as the carer’s losing some of their identity in the process.

"I’m looking after my mum, who had a stroke, and it is very upsetting and stressful, so having the Carer Sharer app to play around with has really cheered me up!"
"The Carer Sharer app is a gem. It reminds me of essentials, and I’ve created my own file too. But the best part is being able to share with other carers on social media, so I don’t feel so alone."

"Great app!"
