What happens to me when my caring role comes to an end?

Question:
What happens to me when my caring role comes to an end?
Answer:

The end of your caring role may take some time to adjust to. Having more time to yourself may give you the opportunity for a much-needed rest, but it can also leave you feeling that you have a lot of time to fill. The Carers UK website gives some helpful advice about:

  • Taking time for yourself,
  • Accessing support from other former carers
  • Learning something new 
  • Volunteering
  • Starting (or returning to) paid employment
  • Helping to provide support to other carers

There are also some useful pages on how to practically manage the transition:
