One son has a family and lives out of state. The other has recently started a new career. Although we aren’t wealthy, we also aren’t destitute. My husband has multiple illnesses and is incontinent. He also has some dementia. We are not elderly but are retired. Should I accept their generosity or continue to take care of everything myself?
Graciously accept their kind offer. They want to have their mom around for a lot longer. That doesn't happen when you are the sole caregiver 24/7.
Start thinking what you want to do on your "days off". Keep connected with friends because that's the first thing to go when you're a c/g.
