“I didn’t sign up for this.”
“I can’t do it another day.”
If this is how you feel, it’s okay. Trying harder isn’t always the answer. There may come a day when you have done all you can and it’s time to make the decision to move the person in your care into a facility better equipped to cope with their growing needs.
Please know that if that time comes you are not giving up on them. You are still the most important person in his or her life. What you are doing is making sure this person continues to get the best care you can provide. You will be able to regain the strength to see this through. You will visit. You will continue to be their best advocate. You have not failed. You are a true hero.
Be kind to yourself this day and know you are not alone.
The Imperfect Caregiver
