How do we control our self and give mom the best?

Hi. My mom is suffering from Parkinson's disease for last 7 years. But her condition is deteriorating day by day. We love her and want to give her best, but most of the times we get irritated because she is not doing anything. How do we control our self and give her best and show her how much we care and love her?

You need to try to get some relief. You've spent many years trying to help her. Everyone has limits. I'd suggest you look into some in-home care or even assisted living or a nursing home. With help, you can still be her caregiver and show her your love, but you won't be resentful because you are burned out. This is for all of you. Do try to get relief.
Take care of all of you,
Carol

Hi. I can relate to you. My mom has suffered with Parkinson Disease over 7 yrs, I feel the same way, but I haven't been able to find any easy answer. Please know that you are not alone in your feelings.
