Lupus and Caregiving: What happens next?

 Caregiving. 

Giving care to someone in need. 

Someone who needs you. 

Making you feel 

needed. 

Giving you 

purpose. 

But what happens, 

I wonder, 

after the care is no longer needed?

What becomes of the caregiver? 

Where is the need then? 

What about the

purpose?
