Don't ask what you can do but just do something.!!!
Drop off food.
Saying I have time next week to give you
a break ask what day is best for you.
I cared for my dad for 7 1/2years he passed in Oct 2024
Not one time did my brother or sister offer to give us a break
My father could see how tired I was and he was saddened that they never stepped up to the plate.
That bothered me he was hurt. Everyone needs to understand even though they are old and or sick they still have feelings.
And after a loved one passes tell them how much you appreciate that your loved one was so well taken care of and loved. I never heard anything positive from my sister.
I never had a chance to greive because as soon as my father passed I had to plan his funeral and take care of his estate.
