My mum has been my elderly grandparents primary caregiver over the last few years as they refused to move to a home. In the last two weeks with my grandmother in hospital I’ve been helping her out with caring for my grandfather and I admit I took for granted what an all consuming job it is. Even when I’m not with him I worry if he is ok and yet I can’t do more to help and it’s exhausting. I’m lucky in that my aunt will be home from overseas next week and I won’t be needed to be front and center as much as I have been. And yet, having stepped in my mum and aunts shoes for two weeks I can’t just walk away and not support them going forward
