Your situation is unique, and you are not alone.
When a family member becomes ill with a degenerative and debilitating illness you and your family can find yourselves in a situation that you never anticipated. No matter how much warning you may have had, the changes around this illness can have a huge impact on spouses, children, and grandchildren.
The wide variety of reactions to these changes can be overwhelming, complex, and stressful. They can also offer a chance for healing and growth for an individual and a family, even though it may not seem obvious from within the day-to-day struggle.
You don't have to be alone in this process. Having someone to help sort through the complex feelings can be a large help in facing another day caring for your loved one. Sometimes you need someone that can listen without judgment and is outside of the immediate situation.
It is easy to get caught up in the details of day-to-day survival. I can help with some resources and planning. These tasks need to be balanced with taking care of your own heart and feelings through difficult times. Together, you and I can use this time to heal and grow yourself and your family.
