My mom’s health

I’ve been real stressed lately because my mom’s been struggling with her health. I’m not going to go into details. But she wasn’t feeling well recently and she had go to the hospital, they figured out what was wrong, but I was pretty stressed. And I’ve been having to help her a lot. I’ve also got college and all that. And my mom was stressed for awhile. I guess I’m not cut out to be a caregiver.

Hi Annegables, not everyone is cut out to be a caregiver. Maybe you can help in a different

way with cooking, cleaning, washing clothes etc. Her health issue might be too much for you to handle going through your own issues. I hope your mom gets better soon. xx

Sorry to hear this Annegables124. Can the medical team helping your mom look into some professional home care support like a PSW. Personal Support Worker? Sounds like you are trying hard under stressful conditions

I'm sorry to hear your mom is facing this. I can relate to your stress, a few years ago my mom had a stroke, and although my dad was there she needs lots of help with lots of things. When we have so many other things going on in life it's easy to feel frustrated and strung out, at least it was for me. I hope you are able to find time for you, even just a few hours of down time to regroup, and I pray your mom feels better and some of the load can be taken off your shoulders......
