I wish I could say something profound to make you feel better, but all I have is that I understand. Not exactly what you're going through, but what you feel like.

So many of us have been where you are honey and it feels like there is just no answers to it all. I remember all to well how I was feeling when taking care of my mother before she passed and I didn't know if I was going to be able to get through it on my own. But somehow, we find the strength to keep going. You are a strong woman and I have complete faith in your abilities to get through this. Don't ever feel like you are alone because you aren't. And so many of us love and care about you more than you even realize. Much love and hugs. GB

Quite understood and I'm sure plenty of us can relate as well.

I couldn't say it any better. I have had it with cruel people and general assholes in kind. I hope all of us can be freed from depression. I have been fighting depression all my life. I am tired, too. Thanks for your honesty.

I am wondering how this impacts your ability to care for your mom, that is if you decided to have her live with you instead of going in to a nursing home.

I am always tired and depressed. That is my "normal" day. All I can say is that every day I just do what I can which isn't a lot, and then hubby does the rest.

I know leaning on someone else has not been an option for you though, as you have said from previous posts. You have a lot to deal with and need to take time for yourself. The world will keep going while you take breaks and take care of YOU!

Heidi,

I wrote this because I knew my mom was headed for a nursing home. Her short stay at home did not work out because she couldn't move or get up. I have been run down by the constant visits and fitting everything around them. Don't get me wrong, I want to visit my mom. I just wish things would have worked out at home and gone back to the way they were before her stay in rehab.

I am always feeling tired and depressed as well. This just depresses me further.

Sweetie,

I commented on your post in Caring for Aging Parents so I won't write anything here other than to tell you I'm always thinking of you and your mom and you did the right thing and please please don't beat yourself up. I know you're tired. I do .:((

Love you very much.

((((((((((( HUGS )))))))))))

Amen Blue, amen. Yesterday, why yesterday I myself was served up another bite of the same shit sandwich of which you speak of. While I won't retype what happened because I already put it in the f-thread but man-O-man did I just have a force feed of that sandwich.

Yeah, life sucks and then I find out it gets suckie-er.

THERES ALWAY HOPE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.................
