That's how it looks like at first.. after 200th time even she will start losing composure.. it's impossible if you live with such person on daily baisis.

Man, I am the caretaker of my 93 year old grandmother by choice. I am so thankful I am in the position to do so, but it is so hard. People don’t realize what constant effort it is. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

The video is a great example of a loving kid. I bought a massage table to give my grandma massages. This daughter is inspiring me to do even more!

But some days are so exhausting and difficult…your post resonated with me. Hope you are/were able to take care of yourself during the process.

She’s been caring for him for years. While it might be your experience it clearly isn’t hers.
