Give a Hug

The best way I can think of is to have a life outside of the whole care taking thing. Don't lose touch with friends, stay in touch and get out once in awhile. Start exercising, whether that would be joining a place like Curves or a regular gym. Or they say walking is still the best exercise. That, and I'd suggest getting an IPOD or an MP3 player, load it up with your favorite music, plug in and tune out. Basically don't become a recluse during this time, it's too depressing.
