I am about to become a caregiver again.

[Thinkingabout]

58. I know I did not do as much as my sister, my brother helped but not as much as my sister.

When we made the decision (I already had) to place my dad in a nursing home it was four making the decision, my mom, my sister, my brother and I, hard but we supported each other at this time.

With my dad, he was my father, my daddy and as an adult my friend, I had to change all of this to he was in need of care and now I was in a position to tell him what to do, it was difficult. We know we got good care for him, he had lots of visitors in the nursing home and they knew someone would be in every day checking on his care. He lost the ability to walk, he could still talk though some things was not in the proper years but as I look back I was happy to still be able to talk with him.

A caregiver has a very stressful life, for both you and your sister, I wish for strength for you and your family. I don't know how I would have done without my family.
