Hello community
I am caring for someone at stage 4, - at least I'm trying to.
They aren't the easiest of people to talk to at the best of times. As a consequence I seem to be the only person wiling to be there, but I am having to insist, and I am beginning to resent it.
I'm questioning whether I should be insisting. My fear is that without a friend, they'd be alone, single parent, only 50, pushed all their friends away through life. The NHS is understaffed, and there doesn't seem to be support for people who have the final diagnosis.
Or am I just looking in the wrong place?
Can anyone point me in the direction of help for me, and their children (they are legally adults, but just finised A' levels and at Uni, so fully dependant and I think they expect someone somewhere to point them in the right direction at least.... )?
I was hoping to find some counselling support for the children of people dying, but maybe I just can't see it for looking.
Best wishes to all that post on here. Life's not fair. But living is a gift.
