Even though my mom was in a rehab the last few months of her life, the caregiving is still demanding. Everyone does what they can was our families motto. She had many medical issues to complicated to be brought home. But I made sure to care for myself and her. I went once a week. I really appreciated you sharing your journey. I feel less alone. Remember, one can only do what they can do not what they can't. Good luck in your parents.
Thank you. I'm a caregiver of my 79 year old mom. It's harder than university, it's harder than my first job, it's harder than my hardest job. And it's more than I expected especially negotiations to get her to go to the doctor with me. "Oh no it's just allergies", she says. Two weeks later after daily pushing we went to the hospital and she had pneumonia. I try and respect her individual wishes but it's getting harder to do that and keep her safe and healthy.
I will N-E-V-E-R regret, taking care of my parents when they were struggling at the end of their lives. I was by my beloved Daddy's side, before & during him taking his last breath...it was DIFFICULT....but a blessing. He passed in October, 1995 at the young age of 72.😢 My mom was 12 year's younger than Dad. She passed away in November 2020😢, at 85 year's if age, a week before my 58th birthday. I took, was by her side, as she fell into eternal sleep. I will N-E-V-E-R regret having been there. Thankful to God 🙌 for blessing me with my earthly Dad & Mom. ✝️🙏🥰
It is very frustrating. I cared for my mother who had dementia until it was unsafe to leave her alone at all and I had to find a residence for her. I wouldn’t want to be a burden like that to my family. I’m 87 and will stay independent as long as possible.
@@eileendight5098 I have the same independent streak. I want to help myself as much in advance too. I hope you have community support too with med appointment transport, food delivery, my brother even picks up my mom's laundry and returns it folded. I still haven't gotten my mom a social worker and she had her mini stroke in 2002. Too many hats to wear not enough emotional reserves to do anything with skill. It's totally reactive now instead of proactive. She thinks an advanced directive would cause her to need it. Which is very superstitious but it's hard to debate with her.
That was beautiful ❤️ I'm a caregiver for my family , mom was first, niece was second and now my brother. I am now the age of 67 and it's time for me to be my caregiver for self . I work really hard and I spend a lot of money to keep my health up to par . I do understand that I too can become a patient while caring for my love ones. Thank God I am still vibrant and youthful ❤
Im care giving fo my pet cat. He is my only family. No he is not a human but a living soul . It's not easy. It's very expensive. But this is a true test of what we can do as humans . Compassion , Care , patience , Real Love. Thank you for being a strong women for your family
Wether you are a caregiver or normal person you should take care of your elders if you take care of your elders you will get the same treatment from your children

Being a career isn’t a choice , society doesn’t really help or understand. It’s always down to the women in any society .
Thank you for sharing your difficult & beautiful journey.

Grandma is.kind of selfish person, isn't she.
When your health fails, you will finally understand.
@novasea3448 no
No, Grandma not selfish, but her children should have stepped up, and not give the responsibility to the grand daughter..
😢
@circa1890 Yes, that is right. The children should care for her.
