in I Am a Caregiver (General Topics)

I feel lost. He has no family and is my best friend.I was alone but very happy being alone. We live together however it is a true friendship. He needed help so I sold everything I owned and moved to where he lived..His wife passed a few years before we became friends.I am single yet I feel so lost.He hardly ever talks and he is deaf so yelling has become a way of life and I do not like yelling.People think I am yelling cause I am mad and I am not mad at him it's only so he can hear me.I am not giving up on him at all.When I came here he was not sick. He did get cancer and he beat that.Then he had covid and he beat that.He was an alcoholic and he beat that..However I will never give up on him. I just feel trusting God and finding the right people to help is what I need.Please help me be a better care taker!He deserves that!
