I reme...I'm sorry things have gotten to this point. I remember all too well. As the others have said, this is your decision and you must have faith you are making the right one.<BR/><BR/>I remember wondering what God was trying to teach me, too. Now that I am 8 months post-caregiving, I still don't know entirely. I do know that I have a totally different outlook on life. I know that I appreciate the small things so much more now.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. I know it's so hard, but you are doing a great job. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry about your dad's anniversary. It must have been a rough day.

There'...You have to follow your heart on the when. There's no rule and no one able to tell you. I definitely understand wishing there were, too.<BR/><BR/>You're right about the resentment and the stress and the difficulty of the work and the lack of sleep - all increasing at the same time. <BR/><BR/>Once you make the decision you have to strengthen your resolve. That's why you have to make up your mind you are doing the best thing for her. And you will be.<BR/> <BR/>It's hard and there's just no two ways about that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343169479240819918noreply@blogger.com
