As one of the care givers for my Mom we did get exhausted trying to have someone with her at all times. Our struggle was both physical and emotional and my poor Mom has three reoccurrences and finally lost her battle. It was the longest year and half in my life. The one thing I can say is that I have NO regrets. I gave her everything I could and still maintain my own family and full time job.
I won't lie to you and tell you it's easy! It's not. It will but a strain on every relationship you have. Hang in there! Take it one day or even one hour at a time.
Don't be afraid to reach out to people and ask for help.
A call into the insurance company will answer a lot of your questions. Each Insurance policy is different. My Mom was allowed help with skilled Nursing care only. That means that we had to take care of all of her other needs.
Good Luck & my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Debbie Mom with Tonsil & tongue cancer.
