I just don’t know how to fix things. My mom passed a week before Christmas of heart failure but my dear friend I told you about spend 11 years caring for her mom.. we are of the same age but completely different circumstances. I learned real love n compassions n selflessness from my friend but I also saw her decline while not eating right..stressing over appointments. Cutting her moms hair..flossing her teeth..just things that people don’t take into account. Cutting toenails n watching for fungus.. sounds disgusting but just basic hygiene. I don’t know how she did it. I don’t know if I could..I say of course but what my friend went thru over the years, I hope I would. Yes, please be aware that the caregivers need care. They are selfless n Angles among us.
