This hit so close to home for me I stared to cry. I was born into the caregiving role, & it was a lot of stress, I cry a lot, I clench my teeth instead of grinding them, I have insomnia, & most days I'm depressed asking God to make them healthy or send me help with them in my prayers. After 30 years I'm more mentally & physically exhausted than I thought possible. Some days I don't sleep or sleep for only a few hours. I used to numb & shut off emotionally because I couldn't handle it anymore, then I started to complain & I couldn't stop. I feel so guilty when I complain or lose my patience with my two family members that I care for. What these people said hit close to home. Still I'd do it all again, & I'm blessed for everyday I get to spend with them. Sometimes holding other people's lives together will make you lose yours. That's the choice & sacrifice you make when you love someone. Unfortunately for me everything I've tried to do to get assistance has failed so all I have now is prayer & time.
Sarah Williams You sound very strong and it’s soo wonderful that you also love and believe in our CREATOR GOD. HE will guide you if you ask in prayers and pray in JESUS name. I pray to our HEAVENLY FATHER to give you the strength to cope in these hard and difficult times, I pray to GOD to strengthen you and to guide you in ur life, I pray this in JESUS name. Amen.
