@leeleip I know some of what you are going through in several different ways. My maternal grandmother gradually became more and more dependent on my parents as her dementia progressed. I come from a Christian family. My mom was an only child, and all of my grandmother's care fell on my parents. My father was as much of an angel as my mother. There was nothing either one of them would not do for my grandmother. My parents did get some reprieve, in that my sister and myself were going to college, but could assist when available. I can not imagine doing all that my parents did, if I had to do it alone. When my mother succumbed to breast cancer that had metastasized, my husband and I moved in to help take care of her, as my father had already passed. It was something that was a blessing and a curse. Pain and curse for mom, blessing to be there for her. The interesting thing I found, was my friends in college that came to our house to see my parents in action, spoke often after my grandmother died, of how caring and loving they both were. They were a wonderful testimony. I know you need a caring person to talk to. Totally understandable. I just want you to see there may be people who are not speaking up who privately acknowledge your faithfulness. I now have lung cancer and my only son is extremely mad at me. He saw what it takes to care for a terminally ill person. I'm not at that stage, but I understand his feelings. It still hurts. I have been listening to an e-book regarding how awesome God is, and the pastor was quoting scripture on the tongue...how it can be used to bless or curse. As someone else already mentioned, ignore those who speak in ignorance. I would gladly continue a dialog with you whenever you might need to be heard. Anytime. 💕
