Prior to October 2010, my life was pretty simple. But with my mom's diagnosis of temporal arteritis, I plunged into the strange new world of providing care for parents in their 80s. As I've shared stories with friends, they've urged me to blog about it and share what I've learned with others. Here we are!

Lesson #3 - Caregiving is hard!
This has to be short, because I'm on my way out the door. I just want to acknowledge here and now that caregiving is hard. Even if you have a sunny disposition (which I don't), caring for another person is hard. When you're an exhausted young mom, you go beyond yourself to take care of that baby. That's just what you do. For some reason, caring for an elderly parent is similar but different enough that struggle ensues. I'll share more later, but please know that if you are struggling with caregiving, you are normal! Leave me comments if you wish! I will respond, but not necessarily in a prompt fashion.
