I will never be an elder-caregiver again.

[1WorldHope]

29. It never seems to go like we hope.

I'm glad you are in touch with your feelings. I've been in human services for years. A lot of hope was placed on waiver services. When it was my family member's time to need these services there was nothing I could do to make it happen. Same with my neighbor lady. We lived next door for 30 years. She fell, went to rehab, came home, fell again of course. I tried so hard to help the family find those kinds of supports. They sent her to a care facility after trying really hard to keep her home. She caught Covid twice and died before her 95th birthday. I was always confident my daughter would be able to care for me if needed someday. I've lost all hope that it can be possible for any of us. Warehouses of death are in all our futures if we don't have big money to hire people. If those people could even be found. I'm sure that was not helpful at all. Sorry. You are in very good company so don't stop talking. Thanks for sharing.
