Thank you for your openness and vulnerability. I feel you and can relate although the depression hasn't hit thus far. I'm much too busy to give in to it when it tries to make it's way in. Aside from caregiving I'm also working full-time and juggling things with the kids and grandkids but oh so many times I've wanted to roll over, pull the covers over my head and say, not today... I'm glad you're back and that you can acknowledge what was and what is. Praying for you and your mom.
Thank U for the prayers. Hopefully you will not (but as time goes by you might) reach that state of depression in your Caregiving. The feelings that I expressed have only happened once so far. It was a particularly hard period of time which has passed and I sincerely hope does not happen again. And my prayer for you is that it doesn't happen. But if and when it does, always know that you are not alone. There is another Caregiver who feels the exact same way.
Caregiving has been much of my way of life. So I have experienced some of your struggles as well. It is an opportunity to see God’s hand at work but I haven’t always embraced my circumstances with gusto!
The words of an old song “The Lord shall choose for me” expresses some of my feelings. It’s not what I would have chosen for sure!
I believe that God has a definite plan for my life. And HIs plan is far greater than anything I could have possibly imagined. This Caregiving journey is definitely not something I would have chosen but...GOD.,,,
