Help for caring for an aging parent in Ethiopia
From people who came through it
“I know you're in the thick of it and it feels like you're the only one holding everything up. I've been there, and I still am some days. What I've learned is that you can't do it all, and that's not a failure. Tell someone, even if it's just a friend or a colleague. Ask for the care assessment and push for what your parent needs. And find a way to get some sleep, even if it means letting something else slide. You're not on your own, even when it feels like it. Take it from me, a guy who's still figuring it out.”
Evening Sage · been through caring for an aging parent“A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was mom refuses help at home. This week I went back to my evening class. One day at a time.”
darnell_spark2003 · been through caring for an aging parent“I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't so but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I had to ask for help and it nearly killed me, but it was the right thing.”
