Eldercare, something I spent a LOT of time on in the last 13 years as an only child & the subject no one wants to talk about. Until it hits them. So many friends reaching out to me now b/c they saw what I went thru, and they're only now realizing how hard it is. 🎁 shorturl.at/npCyS 1/
Handling it as an only child is really really hard. The number of times I’ve thought, “I need a grown-up to help” and then realized I am the grown-up and had a little meltdown.
Yes, and after seeing @unlawfulentries.bsky.social post about elder care and nursing home staff immigrant stats it reminded me of that group of, initially, strangers who show care and compassion for people as professional caregivers. No familial bond other than fellow travelers in this world.❤️🤝🌎🌍🌏
