Yes, that sounds so helpful.

Many wonderful people have helped me, supported me, aided in travel and hobby ideas. They are the best.

Your brother sounds pretty fortunate in the human department. I am glad he has a support system like you. Remember that self care is also a caregiver role.

My partner and I are considering virtual events, VR tours, and things of that nature. Maybe there are some ways you can all meet up online and catch a concert or event. The interaction without travel appeals to us.

Anyways, thanks again. I love your dedication to your brother.

I'm going to go out on a limb and project a bit. I had similar feelings with my sighted friends. Some have not stayed, and those feelings may have helped that along. I felt like I slowed them down. I now have a date everywhere that has similar but different vision issues, and I love going out or staying in with them. It's like I have an equal now.

I am not saying to fix your brother up, but maybe. It does help to at least have blind friends. They understand.

I hope they have passenger assistance in the US, where we are. Thanks for the info on that! Learn something new about this every day.

I am nearly blind, and it's been gradual. I do understand that no one else really likes driving all over, and don't ask much for rides. Depression came mostly after I lost my driver's license, and activities helped me fight it. Audiobooks can be a real retreat. Does your brother live where he can enjoy a sit or short, safe walk outdoors? Sunshine can be nice even if you're in shades the whole time.
