Larry, I can relate, caring for my mom, shortly after losing my beloved dad, has drained me to the core, even leaving me physically exhausted . . . it sucks, as well as breaks one's heart to see a once strong parent, drifting away,taken by dementia and other illness.

I'm not much for support but badly need some myself, I'm spent.

I just keep drumming in my brain, "I'll get through this", but I'm not doing well with it all, even took up drinking my lite beers on almost a daily basis, and we all know that is not good either.
Anyone out there, please rescue us or give us strength to deal with this part of our lives.
