[quote=Anonymous]Being a caregiver to an elderly person is already very difficult, and it’s so much worse if they’re abusive (whether because of personality, cognitive decline or both). It also sucks that one of the best ways to make it better is to have more than one caregiver there, but it’s so expensive and awful that it’s too often one person alone. It’s perfectly natural to feel relief when someone dies after a long illness or decline even if you loved them dearly. Nobody wishes someone had more days in diapers, or more nights suffering from paranoid delusions. You morn the time before that, and if you’ve been a caregiver you’ve been traveling in grief for some time. If you don’t have friends who have been through it, it can be good to find a support group because there are definitely people out there who understand. [/quote]
