[quote=Anonymous]The constant stress involved in caregiving, whether from near or far is f-ing brutal. It will eat you alive. If you can, try (baby steps) to begin to let go a bit. You really have and are doing all you can without losing yourself completely. Refocus on your own mental health and being as the most important piece. It is wonderful that they will soon both be safely in the hands of assisted living. You are then free to let go a bit more. You can’t save them from the inevitable ailments of being old. They will (maybe) fall. They will get sick. Eventually they wil die. It’s just the reality. But once they are gone. Will you be ok? Start thinking about that now. Hugs to you [/quote]
