(63,221 posts)You have way too much on your plate and if your sister is 77, I would assume that you are close in age to her. That is just too great a burden for someone of your age - or any age - to assume. Is there any way you could contact a social services organization that could help you?
I do think you need help. Such a responsibility is much too great for one person, especially if that person is a senior citizen. My heart breaks for you. I wish there was something I could do. Would you feel comfortable reaching out to the DU community for suggestions? There are many people here with great ideas and advice and they might come up with things that you hadn't thought of before.
I feel guilty complaining about boredom. I have nothing to complain about. There are people here who are social workers, in government, law, heathcare, etc. who could offer you advice. If you are ok with it, perhaps start a post and ask for advice. People were so kind when i have reached out and I have seen it with others.
I wish you all the best!
