OH MY LORD
did you hit all the buttons in this reply.
Exactly. Thank you for reading and thank you for taking the time to share this.
The problem is you want to be a stand-up person and you want to provide good care for those you love--but it is so much work and it takes so much time and none of it is paid and WOW does it take a lot of money to live these days. I know exactly how the days slip away from you and how what once seemed like it would be a golden year for you of work and focusing on having your own thoughts from start to finish--was all of a sudden gone.
I wish you luck in coming years. And please do circle back and let me know the title of your book when it is published. I know you can do it.
p.s. I am also so, so sorry for your losses. Care takes time and so does grieving.
