What are the most difficult things for a caregiver?

Dear Friends:

I would like to know what pitfalls and difficulties you had so far as a caregiver. What was your most difficult moments? Did you ever feel like losing it? How did you overcome these difficulties? And finally, but maybe more importantly, what positives did you come away with from your hardest difficulties and your darkest moments?

Thanks,

Lee
