Fantastic collection! I read all the books as I dove into caregiving for my mom and hiring a Geriatric Care Manager was the best thing we did that whole decade. She was well-informed about the local facilities and had some pull at them. She became my lifeline, my confidante, the person who had almost all the answers & after mom died she even personally took equipment to the donation places that needed it most. Make sure they’re certified & if it’s not a match the first time, try again.
Also, somewhere early on I read that, at any moment in America, there is a grown woman caretaker crying in her car in a parking lot. We carry so much so bravely until we break & that is why we need…SUPPORT! 👍🏻❤️
The systems are obviously different in Brazil, and your Mom sounds like she’s still pretty early on. You have your brother. Support, that’s the most important part for a caregiver, I think. Emotional as well as physical. ❤️
