I would like to say something that might help. All I do know, and my friends tell me over and over, “I have to take care of my self”
I hope you find one thing that gives you peace. We are all we have. Remember you deserve any free time you get for yourself. I’ll be thinking of you.

@mib1217, you're so right that a caregiver has to also take care of themselves in order to be able to care for others. Often that is easier said than done. Caregiving can be all consuming.

What moments (if only minutes) did you carve out for yourself? What worked? What didn't?
