[quote=Anonymous]Same situation. Loved one is farther along than yours, but can't communicate anymore and has some medical issues that cause pain/discomfort as well that are really hard to get a handle on. Constantly dreading the middle of the night calls about falls, loved one in pain, ER/hospital visits that never get to the bottom of things but last 10 hours. Even when I'm not there I still feel anxiety and am anticipating the phone call from the memory care place. Visits are not fun anymore (more bad days than good), and hiring private duty nurses/companions to fill in is extremely expensive and pointless because the loved one wants me, not some rando if that makes sense. Also can't afford it on top of the daily rate anyway. I feel stretched so thin. Therapy helps with the guilt but not the reality of things. [/quote]
