Find Care & Housing
Many different responses below but I thank you for being brutally honest. Its hell caregiving and watching parents and loved relative's suffer and decline. Both of mine are gone and after three years of dealing with them I finally have peace and can focus on my health issues. You are allowed your own feelings.

I cared for them the best I could give with my sister's help and hired caregivers. Often due to sister's health decline with Covid I had them both!

Husband and I now have his 94 year old aunt left with advanced dementia. We will be her primary caregivers until she passes.

No, I do not visit graves or have heavenly birthday celebrations. I am sure my sister does but that brings her peace.

My Momma who has always been my best friend. She is 88 on the decline with signs of dementia. Watching the woman who could carry 6 bags of groceries at one time struggling to get to the bathroom is tough. It's also hard to be "the evil child" now because I am the primary care giver. My oldest brother doesn't participate and my middle brother died last year. Yes. I think about her passing. For her more than me. It's not living anymore and having her say she wishes she were dead just guts me.

Yes, it will be a relief. It was a relief when my father passed last year. It will be better for her and the whole family.
