I’ve been taking care of my mom for the past few years, and while I love being there for her, sometimes I feel like I’m running on empty. Between work, errands, and caregiving, it’s hard to find even an hour to myself. A friend mentioned respite care, but I’m not sure how it really works in practice. Does it actually give caregivers enough of a break to recharge, or is it just another thing to coordinate that adds more stress?
