Your feelings are normal and they are valid. Anger is often a big part of it, as well as sadness and hopelessness. I hope your sister is sharing this caregiving burden (while it may be a labor of love, it is also a burden) with you. You need time away to do things for yourself. This is a support group. You can vent, rant or express your feelings any way you want to. Guilt is not allowed. Do explore community resources for elderly and/or dementia patients. You cannot do this alone without getting burned out. Hugs 🤗🤗🤗

@wctdoc1943 I appreciate your comment, it means a lot to me. Thank you so much. I’m just having an extra hard time since I’m also not feeling 100% physically, and it’s all feeling so very precarious.
