Dealing With Ill Parents

Hey Stinger -
I just wanted to offer you a cyber-hug and encourage you to get enough sleep during this time. When I was going through this with my grandmother (I took off work for 4 months to be with her until she passed away and was her primary caregiver), I noticed a propensity to want to be bedside all the time, to the point of not showering, sleeping, or eating properly. This does as much damage to you as it does to them when you arent 100% up to speed.
The best thing you can do is tell her you love her, hold her hand, and be a good advocate for her when she isnt thinking clearly.

My best love to you.
