Caregiver Blues on Mother’s Day
So I moved in with my sister while she goes through breast cancer. Both her kids have moved out and have jobs, and she’s divorced. While I am glad that I came here to help her, I’m sad today. Her kids are here making a fuss for Mother’s Day and mine are on the other side of the country. I got a text from them and my spouse, but it stings.
I have been here 2 months and there’s no end date yet. I miss my kids, spouse, and home. I know I’m doing a good thing being here for her, but it sucks! Easter is pretty big in my family, missed it. Mother’s Day brunch with my husband and kids, missed it. My middle child getting her 1st apt., missing it. My youngest turns 21, missing it. My nonprofit yearly convention, missing it. A new nonprofit position I was offered has been receded. Sigh……….
Today just hurts………….🥲❤️🩹
