Hi Laura, I’m so sorry for your situation. The role of caregiver is hard & can be thankless at times. Just know you are a loving caring person who puts your mil first. People will tell you to be sure to take care of yourself. Honestly, I got tired of hearing that from my in laws. To me, that was the hardest thing for me to do. It is NOT EASY! I know first hand that you can do it. If it’s easier for you to be at work, then perhaps that’s where you should be if that makes your life easier. You will get through this demanding role and please, reach out for help. I found this support group to be the most helpful source of my journey through my husband’s cancer. So, keep coming back here❤️
