I Need Help And Prayers

[Lesli]

I need prayer bad. I have been caring for my 86 year old mother for the past 4 years. In the past 2 years she has become completley bed ridden an requires pca care. My daughter was caring for along with me an my best friend. In the past month my daughter left an moved away w/o giving me any notice and said she needs her own life. My brothers havn't helped me at all my best friend just turned in her 2 wk notice and my boyfriend moved out almost 2 months ago. I feel like everyone I helped has done nothing but walked on me all I want to do is give my mom the best care possible do not want to put her in a home. I know I am a good person with a good spirit just can't understand y everyone has turned there back on me when I have helped them all from money to housing to anything they wanted. Now I am struggling taken care of my mom alone. I just graduated from college thru all of this an I need a job bad along with some peace and understanding. I need help and I want my family and friends to be in my life. I feel like I am worthless right now I feel no 1 loves or understands my struggles. Please pray I can remain strong steadfast find a job and a good circle to support me an my mother. I need all prayers.

Dear Leslie

I will pray for you! Have you tried hospice?? They will help you! I'm in the same situation as you are except I have a lot more help from my family. I hope this continues. Mom's medicare pays for all her services which hospice supplies. Medications,airbed,oxygen,nebulizer,incontinence supplies and they will come 5 days a week for bathing nurse comes out weekly etc....please look into this because I know how overwhelming this can be. May God Bless You!

Thank you for the prayer. My mother has just about every resource that is available. She was taken off of hospice for the second time. She has been like this for over 2 years my daughter and my best friend were her pca. My daughter left town and hasnt returned she is troubled and maybe she was burning out too. My best friend recently resigned casue she been doin this for over 2 years and she works a full time job and I think it's time. I have deceide to do the pca care for all 7 days an try to get some support from others. I have to be home anyway. I just feel like I can't take care of myself anymore. I have lost a lot of weight since all of this has happened and just stressed. I know things have to turn around for me I'm stayn encouraged. Be blessed in your caregiving for your loved 1 no one knows how difficult this can be an especially when you are the only 1 giving the care.
