[quote=Anonymous]OP I am so sorry. You may come to understand more as you face the death of more family and friends. It may not even be that they are ill. We all have a saturation point for life's challenges where we have to set our limits no matter how much we want to support others. Already in middle age I have reached saturation point for helping in "emergencies" (I put it in quotes, because my family and DH's families tend to have false emergencies too) and for being there for dying moments and even funerals. I can still push myself for those I truly love who have been there for me and I fear reaching the point that even for those I love I have to say no to things so I don't break. When I dealt with the first few real emergencies, illnesses, dying days and deaths I didn't think I'd reach the point I have nothing left to give.[/quote]
