Just finished 11 months - burned all FMLA left lob - to care for my mom in home hospice terminal lung cancer - she passed in March: also my 83 year old dad. Now just my dad - he has level 6 dementia... SLUMS 16 .. and my disabled 47 year old Bipolar Schizophrenic younger brother...
...anyways it has been very hard learning curve... I am / was a Med Lab Scientist.. but nothing in my work nor training prepared me for this. Your channel and videos like this from others I have subscribed to have helped more than you know. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. As you say, it's one thing to work in healthcare or science - it's another to be a family caregiver. There is so much to learn. Sending you positive thoughts!
I SO appreciate you Pamela!!! You have no idea how much this information right here, today, is helping me. We are going through something right now that is VERY difficult but you have given me some ideas to help my Mother-in-love♥️🙏🌺
Sometime the right information shows up at the right time, thank you for taking the time to comment and share.
I see the issue more as parents in their late 80s and nineties claimi g they are independent, ex pressing their wish to be so, but having their licences taken away after multiple accidents. Permanent damage and decline after falls, so they are not safe to be alone, refusing to pay, DEMANDING their children center their lives around them. I had a melt down and break with my Mom, now bedridden, almost two years ago after over ten years of unpaid work and amazon bills. For that decade all of my siblings urged paid outside help. My 91 year old Mom balks at paying 35 dollars for her cleaner. In 90 percent of cases, me and my friends, parents who grew up poor in the depression find it outrageous not to be tended by their children. That is their plan. We're talking about people who have been as independent as they could be for years, and worked hard all their lives, whose money doesn’t go far. You have to be realistic. In the late 80s and beyond, they are not capable of returning to what they were even five years ago. And all refuse assisted living, or living with a child. I rarely see anyone who does not askfor sibling help. But sometimes help from all four kids is not enough.
Thank you for sharing. Aging is a battle when to your point physical issues overcome the ability to take care of oneself. While parents often expect children to help sometimes it's not practical. Children can also enable their parents not to seek outside assistance when they are too helpful. It's a fine balance between supporting independence and making parents more dependent on care from loved ones.
