My father had two strokes onMy father has two strokes on Christmas Day and has almost died 3 times in 5 weeks. How do I deal with the stress of my father’s health?

RLP, you have come to the right place. Many here have been in your shoes, in very difficult situations. It is entirely normal for you to be weary and prone to tears. You have been through a lot. Your father has been close to dying several times now and this has taken a lot out of you. As caregivers, we can be getting drained far more than we realize. Just let the tears come and cry all you need to. I think it is healthy that you are crying a great deal in private, as you say. I'm sorry your mother is being so uncooperative. That is certainly not what you need right now. You do sound like you need support. If I were you, I would talk to your father's doctor and any nurses too. I have done this with regard to my parents' care and have found support this way. You aren't getting much if any support from your sibs, so you need to look elsewhere.----and the medical professionals is a good place to start. What a blessing that you are at peace with your father's nearing the end of his life. You say he is brave and strong, so hopefully he is at peace too. Take care and come back here as you feel the need.
