RESPITE Just a Few Hours Make a Difference One Stop Shop Wide selection of Catholic gifts, books, music, statues and more. New wedding & anniversary gifts Open Daily By Natalie R. Cornell R espite is a free and much needed service. Olga Bertozzi, director of Respite in the Diocese of Saint Augustine since 1994, explains that Respite provides relief to people who are caregivers 24-7, who have no other help and who have limited financial resources. A model Respite program was established 20 years ago by the National Council of Catholic Women and was offered to all the dioceses in the United States. The Diocese of Saint Augustine was the first diocese in the country to implement it. Coordinators at the three regional Catholic Charities offices in Gainesville, Jacksonville and St. Augustine represent the Respite program throughout the diocese. However, some parishes have also established their own Respite programs in conjunction with the regional offices, Bertozzi says. The mission of Respite “is to help the caregivers by giving them relief,” Bertozzi says. Often Respite volunteers are people who understand the plight of caregivers and want to help. That is the case of Margie Evans, 65, a retired nurse. Evans, a member of St. Catherine Parish in Orange Park, has volunteered for Respite for 10 years. She explains when her mother was dying, she and her sister took turns providing ‘round-the-clock care. She recalls a time when she wanted to leave her mother for just an hour to get her driver’s license renewed. But the line was so long that day, that Evans returned home because she was afraid to leave her mother alone any longer. Asked if a Respite volunteer could have helped her, she says, “Absolutely.” There are more than 26 million caregivers like Evans in the country and most of them are women, Bertozzi says. Fifty percent of these caregivers assist and care for a spouse and the other 50 percent are wedged in the “sandwich generation.” They are men and women who care for their own children as well as elderly parents. This situation is often so “overwhelming” that it can affect the caregiver’s personality and health. Their stress and tension spills out into their own families. Often, Bertozzi says, “Their own families are paying the price, because problems can arise in the marital relationship and in childrearing.” Bertozzi also says, “Statistics show a large number of caregivers, because they don’t get relief, often die earlier than the person they are caring for.” But, just having a few hours a week to get away can make all the difference.
