I cried reading this because I could relate to it so much. Caring for a dying parent is heartbreaking, and having to do it alone just makes it that much harder. We all need someone to give us emotional support if nothing else. There is a real physical and emotional toll for having to make all the decisions, having to keep fighting on behalf of the person who is ill. Sending all the hugs to you both.

thank you so much for this :( i'm so sorry you are able to relate, as these feelings & experiences are not things i would wish on anyone - but there is comfort in knowing others have experienced + gotten through those things before me. i'm not doing a great job at being articulate in this reply but i do appreciate these thoughts and well wishes so much!!!
