Define a realistic pause
Sitting quietly by a window, listening to a short piece of music or messaging someone you care about may feel restful. These ideas are not treatments. Notice the difference between something that feels restorative and something that becomes another task.
Discuss whether care can be shared
If a suitable caregiver is available, agree on a short period and clarify who is responsible. If support is unavailable, adapt expectations to your circumstances. If difficulties persist, seek professional support rather than relying only on changes to daily routines.

Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
