Karen,

I read your post to "SarahAnn re: I feel like it's happening to me" My heart and prayers go out to you. Please don't be so hard on yourself. We've all lost it from time to time. And most of us only have half of what you're going through. Not only are you facing a terminal illness yourself, you're taking care of your Mom as well. It sounds like you also took care of your Dad and Aunt. That's a lot of caregiving! Obviously, you're a very special person. After reading your post a couple of times, I understand why you feel the way you do. Thank God you have your husband who can assist with your Mom. And your brother took her for the night. Again, don't be so hard on yourself. You have more than enough to deal with. Do you have someone that can come in and assist with your Mom on a daily basis or at least a couple of days a week? Maybe you can hire someone to come in and relieve you for a few hours.

Blessings!
