Great article that really hit home as someone who was in this situation for several years with in laws. Add in another layer of stress while also trying to manage care and help a parent, who lives 2 flights away and it can be very overwhelming. Doing what we can to care for ourselves - not self soothing but true self care is critical.
Thank you for letting me know that it was helpful. You are so right about the need to take care of ourselves, and set boundaries, especially when we are also dealing with a lot of change.
