Could you use a break from Caregiving duties?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the post.

I literally just took the proverbial candle (my body) and tossed it into the fire when I was taking care of my mother the last few month's of her life. I am disable at 50% with back, legs, and chest bones issues from my recent open heart bypass surgery. Mom's hospices nurses and my VA doctor were concerned about my health and pain level going through the roof but I push on making sure mom had a little confort in all her pain. After she died it took me three months of almost straight sleep to restore my endurence, strength, and other mental/physical things that were depleted. I used all my life experences to push through everything, but I counld'nt have done it without the Lord lifting me up and giving me He peace and patience so that I did'nt snap at mom when I was tired and she was wearing on my last nerves. The Lord did a lot for me but that a story for another time.
