I don't like that you are going through this alone...taking care of this person alone. That is far too much for your shoulders. I understand doing it, despite the lack of assist. I just wish you had someone to ease the responsibility a bit. I'm glad you have us here, so when things do get rough, you can come and talk, scream, cry, pick up a few *

If you were not doing this, what would you be doing? I'm scared of this part too. If this person opts for hospice, what then? Will you spend time with them at hospice?
Have you come to terms with this yet? With the finality of caring for them, them passing? *

Obviously you will need some rest and self-care, but have you considered what you will do? I just don't want you to look at just that one option, I'm hoping while they are still here, you might come up with something else you can do?

s** for you **wipes away your tears**
Interesting, i woke up today and was looking at perhaps having a shot of something to drink...and i do not like alcohol.
