Sister Suggests Elderly Carers to Help Pick Up Slack
My mother has been ill from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD for the last year or so, and it seems that all her care has fallen to me. I called a meeting of all my siblings last weekend to discuss a schedule that will help divide up some of the duties related to her care. I really need to have some time for myself. My younger sister suggested we hire elderly carers to come in part time or even full time if that would help and then split the cost between all six of us. I believe expense wise it would be manageable, but I do not want my mom to feel like we have all given up on her and are throwing her to strangers now. How can I convey this need to my mother without her feeling we don’t love her? Any suggestions would be so helpful. Thanks.
