19 Best Caregiver Quotes and Sayings When You’re Exhausted.

These caregiver quotes and sayings can help you stay strong and motivated by reminding you what's important. Even when you are totally exhausted.

How do you keep fighting, when you can barely get out of bed?  When you’re so exhausted that you literally can’t think straight, much less tackle some big overwhelming situation like cancer.

In the beginning of our journey, we were a ball of fire.  All of us.

My family was ready to take on the world.  We were oozing positive energy, we had hope coming out of our eyeballs and we were determined to beat this thing.  

Seriously, if anyone could have kicked the shit out of cancer, it was us.

Fast forward a few months into this…it was impossible to fall asleep at night, a struggle to get out of bed in the morning, and we were just trying to survive the day-to-day chaos.

These caregiver quotes and sayings will help you…

  • Find perspective so you KNOW that you can do this. 
  • Push through the exhaustion and find the strength to keep going.
  • Remind you how strong you are (even when you don’t feel like it).

Cancer hijacks the things that matter if you let it.  It steals your thoughts, your energy, and your time. 

And no matter how crazy this roller coaster gets, and how much you want a break… you can’t.  You don’t have time. There are days when you barely have time to brush your teeth.  

It feels like an impossible mission to stay motivated when you are “running on empty” and the whole world is falling down around you.

Caregiving means pushing through when everything is mess and you’re so exhausted and drained that you’re not even sure you’ll make it.  

 But you keep fighting anyway.

If someone you love has been going through a cancer diagnosis and you’re struggling to figure out what to do, we can help (and it’s FREE!)…
