How Do The Caregivers Deal With Their Own Emotions?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

It's a roller coaster of emotions that can become depressing. I'm always exhausted and sad. I see mom approaching the end of her battle. As strong as she is, she has fought well. She is and always be my angel. She taught me to be strong. Yet I can't stop this disease. It hurts. How do all of you deal with the overwhelming sadness?

I worry that I won't be able to help him as things progress but my first husband died of a brain tumor and I learned then to just make it through the day and pray a lot.

I just do what I have to do each day, then next day do it again. The best piece of advice I have been given is, " there is not much point in arguing, you will be upset, and they will have forgotten."

My husband was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago with stage 4 lymphoma and the extra stress of that has certainly caused progression in my PD. I am more at peace now, it's in God's hands now and may His will be done!

My dad has had PD for about 5 years. It breaks my heart. I pray and never correct but redirect him. My main goal is for my dad to be happy and safe.
Hang in there, you are not alone.
