โA 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.โ
โHi, you. I was in the same place eighteen months ago. Back then it was the care assessment. These days I mostly feel like me. From someone who gets it.โ
โTo 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.โ
โto 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.โ
