Hi everyone. Hoping some of you who've been down this path before might have some words of advice. I'm due to put Mum into Respite care for a week starting tomorrow.
This is the first time I've done this but it's been recommended by my GP as I've been caring for her without a break of longer than an overnight stay for nearly two years now. It seemed like a good idea but now that it's arrived I'm terrified something will happen to her like a fall or worse or she will be really distressed and I know I would never forgive myself.
Has anybody else had these last minute jitters?. Because I'm seriously thinking of cancelling it.
