[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 70463"] It is stressful caring for the older parents. My sister has that job as she is the only one in that town. I feel guilty. I go visit. Sister also took care of my father. She was so stressed. There ARE adult daycares. There are "babysitters" as well as people who run errands. Many are volunteers through United Way. These people were sanity savers. My mother has been in a nursing home for quite some time now. Still, there are phone calls, dr. appts., clothes and ofcourse the "treatment" you get when you go visit. My sister has done a great job of detaching. We know she is being taken care of. Please don't be angry. It is your heart and your peace knowing you were there to share in her years. Take advantage of services available. What about Care a Van? Red Cross runs a bus that picks up and drops off for Dr. appts. I feel guilty I do not live in town with my mother. I appreciate all my sister does. I am sad I cannot be there with her as often as I would like. It would really break my heart if my sister were angry. [/QUOTE]
