Suzanne Crowe: Being a carer upends your life, yet many in this situation - most of them women - don't get paid for the work they do
Briefly

Caring for a loved one encompasses various responsibilities beyond simple companionship, involving nursing tasks, emotional support, and managing the complexities of their daily lives.
Being a caregiver can lead to significant emotional and mental challenges for the family, often overlooked, while they navigate the caregiving process and eventual grieving.
The notion of 'life-limiting conditions' in children's medicine encourages an understanding that life may not last as long as hoped, making caregivers' roles even more complex.
The often unacknowledged sacrifice and dedication of family caregivers, particularly women, highlight the need for better support and recognition of their important roles in healthcare.
