Caregiving

"Approximately 34.2 million Americans have provided unpaid care to an adult age 50 or older in the prior 12 months." AARP statistics from 2015

I was talking with a friend who is providing caregiving to her mother, along with two siblings.  It was so familiar.  The insistence from the mother that she will not go into a facility, the expectation from the mother that the children should put their lives aside and care for her, the limited options available.  I was able to correct some of her misconceptions and give her support during this difficult phase of her life.  How are you doing with caregiving?  Do you have enough support?
