Thanks to a BSN local support group member who forwarded a tweet about this article on to me.
The article on caregiver guilt is in US News & World Report. The author encourages caregivers to “schedule periods of respite to relax and gain strength for guilt-free caregiving.” She says that even five minutes of respite can be worthwhile.
Here’s a link to the article:

Part of the article is a 3-minute youtube video of the author discussing the alternatives, in a tongue and cheek fashion, to taking a five-minute respite. (I didn’t think it was so funny, but your mileage may vary. The article is worth a quick-read, however.)
