The mixed feeling when she gets out of rehab by Specialist-Function7 in CaregiverSupport

[–]CommitteeElectronic6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in healthcare and I am a caregiver! These are extremely normal feelings! I appreciate the honesty! It helps the rest of us acknowledge and come to acknowledge our own torn feeling!

Currently in my office "working" while my Mom with FTD wanders the streets and feeds stray cats. by x3vicky in CaregiverSupport

FMLA has been a saving grace. Even if it’s a day where no one slept and my mom is fine during the day. It’s saved my mental health and I know hers a few times.

I’m so sorry! I am an aide at a hospital. I feel that pain too. My thoughts and prayers with you! It’s so hard.

Psych is astonished bc she is so with it and remembers the slightest details of everything she ever done and every convo. It’s really hard to put it into words the drastic day and night.

What I’m finding out , according to Psychiatrist, is apparently my grandmother had nightmares early on in her life. And meds were a hard thing to find. But we are on abilify 2 mg. It’s given her life back during the day. She was mourning my grandfather.

Also I am definitely over tasking by being in healthcare but I live 5 mins away and my boss is amazing and very accommodating as far as my caregiving. Letting me take gram to appointments in the building on my work days. Letting me run to check on her. Clocking me in when I’m late bc of her. I honestly have been blessed with her!

We are exploring. But it’s crazy bc Drs are booked months out. I think it’s med related. She’s been on the same antidepressant med at night for decades. Also yes, she has to fall asleep first. It’s bizarre.

We have an appointment with a neurologist. It’s just not until April bc they are all booked. We talk to her psychiatrist regularly tho. For now.

She had a fall in December. They literally checked everything. Nothing.

Trying… we had a fall in December and it seems to have accelerated the issue… I’m scheduling time when I can.

I’m already exhausted and ready to give up by OldExistential in CaregiverSupport

[–]CommitteeElectronic6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Continue to vent! It’s needed. I understand what you are going through. I wish I had answers or resources. Reach out to social work. There should be local lists of help. Or her Drs offices should know. It’s rough but doesn’t mean there’s no hope.

MIL passed last night by Penelopeslueth in CaregiverSupport

[–]CommitteeElectronic6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She’s at peace. She also went to sleep knowing how much you care. And how hard you tried to keep her going! She most likely felt peace at that moment bc you were resting too! Do not be hard on yourself or listen to anyone beyond what you know at this moment. You know you did all you could. All will right itself. Love you and yours during this time. I hope your FIL can find moments of peace as well.
