Working, caregiving, and taking care of your family is overwhelming and exhausting for many women.
Rosemary Lichtman of Comforting Home Care in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania found three ways of coping with providing care for her elderly parents while she worked full time and was raising her own children:

- Get help
- Take care of yourself
