From people who came through it
“To someone just starting out caring for an aging parent: I know it feels like your life isn't your own anymore. I've been there. The appointments, the forms, the constant worry. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to ask for help, even if some people let you down. Celebrate the small wins, like a good day or a smile. Look after yourself too, even if it's just ten minutes with a cup of tea. You're doing a good job, even when it doesn't feel like it. And other people are going through the same thing, even if it feels like they're not.”
Swathi Y. · 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“A 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.”
Be A · 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.”
