Re: End of my strength

Patty, often friends say "let me know if I can help". So DO it! Have a list of things. Like sitting with your mom, bringing some food, giving you rides. Whatever would help you
And find social worker support
Most important, just do the next thing in front of you. The things that matter. Take it a day at a time. Don't project too far ahead and get overwhelmed. First things first
Keep the faith
