A nursing home placement may have been as painful a loss as a death. Remember your care recipient. Reflect back on your caregiving responsibilities and decisions with pride. Find comfort in knowing that you did the best you could. Review your journal.
All situations vary.
I encourage you to always consult your health care professionals to discuss your individual situation and the best course of action for you and your care recipient. I may help a relative soon. I am beginning to help. I am helping. My role is changing.
