Abstract
The study illuminated how caregiving is experienced by an individual at a process and psychic level by shedding light on the conflicts, concerns and exhaustions endured by them. Adopting an existential approach in healthcare setups can aid in moving closer to felt experiences of these caregivers and in developing integrative and meaningful interventions for enhancing their well-being.
