Anne-Marie sure gave some great advice. It is easy as a Caregiver to fall into the trap of feeling guilt when our words and actions seem to have little effect. We're supposed to have all the answers, right? Wrong! Sometimes just being there is enough, and other times nothing seems to work. Be kind to yourself. We are not supermen/women. The stronger you are, the better able you will be to handle these difficult times. It is so good that you see a professional. Give yourself a break now and then and get away for a walk, window shopping, a movie, a coffee with a friend. Rod will be fine for an hour or two. Hang in there.
