โI 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
โHi, 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
โTo 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.โ
โI 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
