From people who came through it

  • โ€œI 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.โ€

  • โ€œI 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.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was where you are eighteen months ago. I remember driving two hours every weekend like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Praying for you.โ€

  • โ€œHi, 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.โ€
