I did that for 3 years, is Overwhelming as I didnt have much help.. Think Positive, Be Posituve, Take one day at time, make the best of it, Breathe deeply and exhale when is little more stressful. Remember , she is so happy, thankful that YOU are there in the PROCESS , she is not alone…. Think all this when start becoming overwhelming, truthly helps . I made with Christmas ornaments ahead of time with her finger prints and made birthday plates with her fingers as me worked and great personal gifts for each grandchild , or any sivilings ; that is fun activity, also I made teddy bears with her recording voice and wishes to each brother and sister when my Father was well in his senses and able to speak…and made story book with his stories memories songs jokes phrases and family tree, we have so much fun together in those 3 years , that the anxiety and stress was little lower and become enthusiastic, fun … giving me sense of joy in my heart and feeling special to be there . Hope it helps and being Creative was my challenge , Being Patience was my challenge , doing it with Love was so EASY with a JOYFUL HEART, give me everything to start my next day . ♥️
