Hi AC Forum,
I feel like I run the gamut of emotions on a weekly basis. I think that is a difficult side of this caregiving. Not being able to fully satisfy - or not being able to satisfy for what should be a normnal period of time. And on the same token know that each day you go down this path you just running to the finish line.
It's the craziest and horrible life as I am not able to live my life, yet I have a hard time thinking of my mom living with less. Also not being the face of which she says to at first seeing her and asking her how she is, "Better now that I see you!" Knowing that you are the comfort in their sight. Yet what it takes from one feels enormous - emotionally, monetarily, physically.
How are you doing?

So sorry to hear that.
You hang in there.
We will continue praying whatever the Lord wills.
Try and share love in the time left.
Find strength in the Lord.

You are an inspiration to us all, the way you have showed love and dedication to your Mom.
Thank you for being such a loving example.
These are the times when one can do nothing else but putting our loved one and our worry in God’s hands, which are truly the best hands to hold our life, present and future. Trust Him John! trust that He will provide exactly what you and your mom need.
May You find peace and comfort despite the trouble you are facing!
And Smeshque is absolutely right, you are a good son!
I pray that God gives you back everything that you had to give up and I pray that He makes it up to you. He is a JUST God in the name of Jesus. Amen
I don’t want to get into the can you place your parents in an outside care facility, look for help, hire someone, etc, etc. I think you need to focus on your immediate situation. Once you’re more calmed, feeling better physically, feeling lighter emotionally, you won’t feel like you are ready to crash. You will see!
Sending positive thoughts and good energy your way!
