This chapter explores the complexities of caring for a loved one. When a patient does not accept care, it can lead to frustration and emotional strain for both the patient and caregiver, making it essential to approach these situations with patience and empathy. Marital and relationship stress often intensifies under the pressures of caregiving, requiring open communication and mutual support to maintain a healthy partnership. Additionally, role transitions after a transplant can significantly alter relationship dynamics as caregivers and patients adjust to new responsibilities and expectations.
