Is there anyone else who was a family for a relative for a fairly long time who is now alone due to their caring reponsibilities no longer being required. This could be because of death or the caree being in residential care now.
I found that when I was a carer there was no other family member who would give me even an hour off to do shopping without running through the supermarket aisles. Heaven help us if I had wanted a holiday!
All my older people who I cared for are now dead and although I am not now stressed trying to get here before I left there life is really dull. People seem to have forgotten about me. I am reserved and do not contact people for fear of rejection. I have had strange criticisms before such as why that crematorium for the funeral? The reason being that it was the only one I knew. I had sat alone with that relative during the final hours and the person who was at my house looking after my children was not a relative.
I never asked for help from anyone as I knew it would not be forthcoming but I do not see the reason why my efforts were criticised.
Does anyone else have similar experiences?
Thank You
