@hopeful33250 , thank you. Yes, I have been intentional about self care, everything from lunch out to massages to enlisting a girlfriend support system via Facebook. Maybe I would feel worse if I didn’t do those things but they don’t provide much relief. I have no close family nearby so am on my own. it’s a strain constantly being on guard and on deck.

@susan2018 It sounds as if you need to enlist more help. Is there a senior advisory board in your area that might be able to provide some low-cost assistance with house cleaning and clearing out your mom's apartment?
Sometimes when we are physically and emotionally overwhelmed (at the same time) it becomes more difficult to cope. Will you look into getting some help with the physical demands?
