From people who came through it
“I was right where you are two years ago. Dad fell twice this month. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy.”
Toriie M · 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“Hi, you. I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember taking him to every appointment like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
bikegreen02 · been through caring for an aging parent“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.”
