From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and the first few months were the worst of my life and but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad, lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward so people want to help. Go slowly.โ€

  • โ€œYou will resent them. You will hate yourself for it. Both things can be true. I wish someone had told me that earlier. Get a sitter for two hours a week, even if they refuse. Even if it feels like a waste. She'll survive. You need those two hours more than you know. And the guilt doesn't go away, but it gets quieter.โ€

  • โ€œto anyone starting with caregiver burnout: feeling this way does not mean you are weak. it means you have been carrying too much for too long. you will feel angry and guilty and loving all in the same hour. that is normal. get a sitter, even for two hours. go for a walk. cry in the bathroom if you need to. but do not turn on yourself for having feelings. this is hard what you are doing. and plenty of us are doing it too.โ€

  • โ€œI know you're tired. I know you feel guilty for being tired. I did too. But you're not a bad person for feeling resentful. You're human. The care assessment might be useless, and your health might suffer. But please, find one person who gets it. And hold on to the small moments. They come. They really do.โ€
