I have given in to the fact that I need help. So, I'll be meeting with a home health organization hopefully next week.
For those who have not reached this point, I have done all I can, to the point of jeopardizing my health. If you are at this stage, please understand that you have done nothing wrong.
What good are you to your loved one, if your health fails?

I'm so sorry, do you want to tell us about what's going on? You must be feeling pretty terrible.

Calling in home health is not a sign that you have failed to be a good caretaker, but rather that you are indeed a good caretaker….you know your limits. Each of us has to evaluate honestly what we can and what we cannot do.
