Hi Gratia, yes this phase definitely tests our resolves. Keep expressing, I find this helps along with feedback of being heard. We hear you. I think I fluctuate as much as my Mom. Acceptance, grief, joy in the moment, sad, anger, acceptance..... Hang in there.

@tracidw yes, it’s such a wide range of emotions to navigate. The exhaustion of being a caregiver and the stresses it entails make it a lot more challenging to find balance and peace of mind. I find creative outlets to be lifesavers. I used to be very active physically but being “hungover” from sleep deprivation makes it hard to do too much exercise- even while knowing well how good endorphins are for us!
I send virtual hugs and support!
