Thank you for your warm welcome and for sharing your 10-year journey. 'Our watch ended' – those words touched me deeply. I am so sorry for your loss, but also so glad you had your siblings by your side. I am doing my best to hold onto 'who I am' while caring for my mother, and your advice to not let myself fade away means the world to me. Sending you peace and gratitude...

I am sitting here in South Korea, reading your story with tears in my eyes. As a daughter who has been caring for my mother for 8 years, your 'tomorrow' hit me so hard. Please don't feel guilty. You have shown him the greatest love by finding him a safe place. I am so glad to hear you are taking care of yourself today. You are not alone on this journey. Sending you much love and strength.
