As a Carer, I find I have to make so many decisions in a new arena. It can be mentally exhausting trying to do that right thing, which can change from week to week or day to day. Sometimes my husband behaves like a child, his world has shrunk so much in his illness. I too believe in keeping it simple and sometimes having to steer things away from stress and or conflict. For me, it’s ok because I assess each thing individually and it’s an option to make decisions for my sick husband, that would otherwise bring heart ache. Most of all, I try to take care of myself, which I’m not good at but getting better. After 4 years, I’m finally starting to get my own medical check ups, I’m 61 and it’s taken 4 years to bring my own self care to light. Wishing you a peaceful day and time to take care of yourself too.
