"How to survive elderly care"

by Gik

At first i was totally lost because i didnt know where to start and how to , mostly.

Then, i realised that i couldnt do everything fast.

After some time anger and frustration wrapped me so tight that i lost pespective if i am doing what my mom needed.... in reality. She needed something else. It took me 7 years to adapt to this system i have, but because im committed to myself, i figured: " i wont fail to my mom", she only count on me so i had yes or yes to support

her.

With the help and support form my hubby Emmy, it was easier not to have negative thoughts about it and also, again, not to lose perspective, the true goals of this, the lifestyle of a caregiver.

Indeed its not an easy job, even when some folks think taking care of someone is a child´s play.

im happy that i could survived my emotions and i clreared all my doubts. But there´s no better way than the nigerian method.

With the reality smashed to your face, and some punches of maturity, and some bravery slaps.
