Elder-caregivers

We put her artwork up and made it cozy. She actually adjusted pretty well to memory care. I hope your mom is able to find a piece of home there.

Your self care has taken a back burner and now it is time for you to invest in your health and well-being. I was caregiver to my sister for five years. Even with the memory care and home health aides I still thought I might die before she did. All I can say is rest when you need to. Get some kind of exercise plan going if you don’t already have one and search out a caregiver group, maybe through hospice or the facility she is going into. Talking helps, setting boundaries helps and at this point shear rest will help.

You did an awesome job now it is time to fill your cup so you can continue to keep a watchful eye on your mom. I will add that no matter how much you have done there will come a time when you will doubt your efforts or feel like you could have done better. Kick those thoughts to the curb. You did it, you did your best. You are still doing it. Love to you and your momma. 💗💗🙏
