I am so glad you shared this. I too am a care giver, . I really wish we had a different name for that .. my Sweet Mom developed Dementia about 10 years ago. Mom and Dad moved in shortly after her Dx. we caught it early and things were good for a long while . Last Dec my Dad had open heart surgery he was dx with Alzheimer’s about 9 months before his surgery . He never really came back after his surgery . So now I care for both. Dad’s had moved rather quickly he is so frustrated . We have Hospice care. They come and give me 6 hours of relief a week. People tell you that you are a Saint for caring for them. I don’t feel saintly. It took awhile to digest all of this. I really want to snuggle and have my mom back. My Dad has become cold and empty. It is the toughest job I have ever had. Hey, I raised three high schoolers. Thank you again for sharing. If you have any helpful reading material I would be most grateful.
Hugs from one caregiver to another.

My age is 14 and attending a Mother’s Day Mass with my mother, during the sermon the Priest brings up
isn’t it too bad that one mother can care for 5 children but 5 children can’t care for one mother. My mother
turning to me begging me to never put her into a home but to allow her to always live in her own home. I did just that. At the age of 85 she had a stroke, with my brother caring for her 4 days a week and my working full time and driving from Pasadena to San Diego weekly to care for her 3 days. Mom passed onto the other side at age 91. Caring was hard, using all my savings and pension for her care. My #2 brother not taking any time to handle any caregiving made the request regarding her tombstone epitaph—
“Because of you we survived.” You see mom became a widow at age 36, 5 mos pregnant with #5. She raised 5 children on $200.00 per month, and no supplement income—-her feelings were to be there for her children and others. My mother passed quiet while napping. Thanks mom for your teachings of Love,
Kindness, Patience toward others and especially “KARMA.”
