Good morning, @naturalebyjas You are spot on! Caregiving seems to present daily challenges of one kind or another, often without respite. I shared your feelings of not only being challenged by the chores of caregiving but also the constant and terrible thought of losing my wife. I always knew the worst day of caregiving was going to pale versus the days without her.

While I know hints and tips don't work for everyone, but one thing that helped me through these thoughts and fears was to focus on "one day at a time". I had to retrain myself. Having spent my life looking towards, and planning for, the future, I had to learn to just be focused and OK with the day at hand. If I had my wife that day, I had to learn to be happy and not worry about what tomorrow might bring.

Please remember, no caregiver is truly alone! There are millions of us out there who are, have been, or will be caregivers.

How are you doing today?

I wish you continued strength, courage, and peace
