What do you do when you feel overwhelmed from caregiving?

hi sept21 , yes dad tells me the same thing . i am so tired i dont feel good , my whole body hurts . it hurts me too . breaks my heart . on the other hand im just thankful that i am able to take care of dad . i too been blessed . AND you too !!!

Many times I retreat to my room and pray for strength when I feel overwhelmed and sad. It helps for a while and I try to consider her feelings about her aging and probably hating it. She tells me each day how old and tired she is so I feel depressed when she says that, but she is right. God blessed me with a wonderful Mom so I always have to remember that when I feel stressed.
