I needed to read this today. I have been the 24/7 caregiver for my husband the past eight months. He is currently bed-ridden, needs help with everything, and he has a long recovery . My days are non-stop and my To-Do list is endless. Today I slept in so my day started late and subsequently just couldn't get myself moving to cross off tasks on my list. No motivation. I was beating myself up for my unproductivity until I read this. I now realize i was just having a much needed "blah day". Thank you for your insight.
Being a caregiver is such a labor of love. It takes so much out of us though. Few people understand until they have experienced it. Just remember to keep some of the love for yourself to recharge. Your loved one would want that too. Much love to you. Stay in touch if you ever need to talk. ❤️
Love this!! Just had a week alone in my house and, although I was busy a few days w/spring cleaning, I did take time to do nothing!! Felt relaxing & good for my soul.

Also something I share with many, and many times feel myself:
"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not.
You're just sick of the tunnel."
Thanks for this! Couch sitting at the moment, browsing around. Good place to land.
I love your insights, Janice. Thanks!
