I am 63, taking care of my father in my husband and I’s home. He has experienced a lot of loss in the last handful of years, both in loved ones passing on, and in personal health and independence. I feel the struggle and often feel overwhelmed in many ways. You all, with your heartfelt, grateful, wise and sometimes funny responses here, have given me courage and refreshment in looking at my own future. Bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

@babbsjoy caregiving is challenging, can leave us feeling overwhelmed, especially added on top of everything else….but it’s good to see that this online community is helpful to you as it is to so many…keep your spirit and enjoy your sense of humor, which will lighten the load just enough to go forward…sometimes the tiniest things gave the spark I needed…best of luck to you and family.
