[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's really the eldercare that's getting her down. Eldercare is HARD and it's not like raising children where they grow and change in mostly positive ways. Instead it's loss, difficulty, and ultimately death. It can be loving and fulfilling but it's also hard, hard, hard. I would think she's in anticipatory grief for the parents, overwhelmed by their needs, and feels alone in it all because her DH is absent. [/quote] 100% ageee! This has been my life. Caring for my parents has so negatively impacted my life and health. [/quote]
