Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experience of a main caregiver, in charge of a family member with a severe chronic disease. Methods: The participants of this study were 13 main caregivers, who have a family member with a severe chronic disease. The data were analyzed through the phenomenological research method. Results: This research concluded with: one core theme, five theme clusters and 13 themes. The one core theme was: ‘My Life is Not Mine.’ The five theme clusters include: ‘The Dark Days Ahead, of What We Do,’ ‘Serious Pressure,’ ‘My Body is Broken (caregivers),’ ‘Overcoming,’ and finally ‘Endless, Long and Long tunnel.’ Conclusion: We must emphasize to a main caregiver of a chronic disease patient, to the fact that their life should be theirs, not the patients. In addition, we need to be attentive of their well-being, as well as the chronic disease Patients, and sensitively responsive to their problems.
