@cindylb Not knowing the size of your community, is there a circle of people you can turn to? Perhaps a group from your faith community, or a wellness group nearby? Are there any senior resources to turn to, seeing your MIL is in a senior community? Even though your daughter has her own busy life, do you think she would feel upset if you Don't reach out to her? She might have some resources to consider, also. If you get too run down, you won't be any good to anyone!

Thank you for your support Ginger, I really appreciate it.
I am already 'run down', ha ha. That ship has sailed. When I had breast cancer I found great support from friends who also had breast cancer. My husband and I have great friends but day to day.....it's really on me to keep things moving forward. I have always been that person who can handle so much more than others and I guess now I'm concerned that I may have hit my limit. I'm looking into resources and getting great support here on the Mayo site, so that's a help.
