Caregiver Alert…yet again today encountered a woman who is struggling with the care to her parents who live over 200 miles away.  She is working and only able to visit on the weekends.  The parents are in their 90s and do not want to leave there home and do not want anyone else in the house.  There are caregivers with them 24/7 however they want her.  The dear daughter is living with stress and guilt.

She is not alone…she is on her caregiving journey.  Although some parent care situations are not solvable, this daughter can get support from attending a group with others who are on the same journey.  By participating in  support group she can lessen her guilt and perhaps learn better ways to cope with her situation.
