I am sorry your feelings and well being as a caregiver are ignored! I know it must make you feel very unappreciated! But I know the Lord sees, appreciates. I’m preaching to myself here. We must hold on to that truth. As our care recipients are so often in their own struggle that they don’t notice or have the band width to appreciate or express appreciation. As friends and family who may even ask “how are YOU doing”—but don’t really want to hear or know the reality and struggles you are facing. It is a very lonely journey and I find my only hope is to rely on Jesus. In my situation, my husband is also a very significant support. But sometimes the sheer weight of responsibility feels so crushing, especially in the health facet of this thing with so many complicated things playing off each other in delicate and fragile balance. It’s easy for me to sink into thinking it’s all up to me. There is way more to this thing than I ever imagined could be!
