Hi, @kaylin7 My name is Scott and I was my wife's caregiver during her 14+ year war with brain cancer and your post struck a chord with me as I recall how often I reached burnout points in our journey.

Caregiving is a demanding situation to be in and each person's situation is different. In my case, I had a friend who would clip little articles from the newspaper and send them to me. I called them my 30-second vacations. I also had a neighbor who would drop off a baked treat every so often, which would brighten my day.

What is your girlfriend's situation and what have you tried for her already?

Strength, Courage, & Peace

I have been there for her in many situations. I'm just a phone call away and she know she can count on me. So,when she has appointments, errands,go for a walk,I'm there.
