Finding a support group will help and also educating everyone in your path. You'll be surprised who might just step up!

I agree it is exhausting physically and emotionally being the caregiver. My situation is different than yours in that it's my son. I also have two other children and a husband and a business to take care of.

My outlet is the gym. I go to classes with the same ladies every day. This helps me tremendously. You have to do something for yourself regularly to be able to keep giving.

I say a prayer for you.
