From people who came through it
“to whoever needs this: i was where you are in january. mum refuses help at home. today i laughed so hard my sides hurt. things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.”
A member · been through caring for an aging parent“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“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“To whoever needs this: I was in the same place in 2022. It was driving two hours every weekend and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.”
