Caregiving: I’m frustrated and exhausted.

I just posted a new conversation here in caregiver stress.......it sounds like we're having the same experience. I'd like to share as we both navigate this difficult path. I too am a breast cancer survivor and am taking care of my husband who has terminal cancer (which they can't identify the type of cancer). I work as well and like you have all of the other responsibilities as well. It's exhausting and depressing and perhaps together we can share and relieve at least a little of the burden and if we find coping skills or ideas or even humor or solace, I'd like to have someone who I can support who can support me and a fellow whiner (ha ha). I wish I had answers but so far I'm just getting by day to day. Hugs to you. If you'd like to continue to share, I'd appreciate a friend who understands and that might be you.

@cindylb Hello and welcome back. Your situation does sound difficult and exhausting. I’m currently not a caregiver, but have been one in the past. My husband has been my caregiver, but I’m doing better now. Do you have any family who can help? Who provides the care while you’re at work? It sounds like you could use someone 2 or 3 days a week. Is your husband in hospice? Some hospice groups have volunteers who have been trained to help in situations like yours. Maybe you have a neighbor who could just come over and sit while you go for a walk. And here’s a virtual hug for you! Please let us know what else we can do to help!
