Are you able to get help with her care? Long term caregiving can really exhaust you. It is sad to see our parents decline in health. I have noticed that with mine lately. While their health is relatively good, they have some issues. I try to look at the positive side as to all they have accomplished and enjoyed so far. I don’t want to lose them, but I do hope that they don’t suffer. There seems to be a lot more mental distress in seniors that I never knew before.

I don’t really have any answers...just try to take breaks, get help and be kind to yourself. Caregiving is hard work. If she’s ready for hospice, you might explore that. My cousin, who has end stage dementia, is on hospice. They have been very helpful. I’m much more prepared for that death. I’ve had years to prepare for that.
