I'm honestly not on here for advice, I just want to hear what others are going through because I'm feeling more overwhelmed as each week passes by.
My 95 year old mother is a year into moving into a care home.
She still needs support and help in adjusting to her new way of life.
Luckily she lived independently until 94 years of age and one fall changed her life completely.
I'm one of three, my mother's next of kin .
I don't resent the amount of time I give her, but my siblings leave a lot of it to me, including attending appointments, dealing with visitors, financial affairs etc.
Please share how you feel at the moment.
This post is prompted by a chat I had with my next door neighbour this afternoon.
I offloaded a lot of stuff with her and she told me about three of her friends who are going through very similar experiences with their elderly parents.
Exhausted and overwhelmed at times.
That's how I feel.
Thanks for reading my post, please share your thoughts
