My fiancé and I are the primary caregivers to her dying grandmother. Within the past week, I went from burnout anger to a type of depression. I have become so acustomed to caring for her, we are pretty sure she only has a few days left. I was looking forward to going back to normal but now I am feeling and fearing a further emotional emptiness. I am looking for some advice . Thank you and God bless.
But like most emotions, those feelings of grief and sadness will pass with time. Just be patient and take care of yourself and do what is nurturing to you, whether that is to be with other people or to be by yourself. Listen to music, take a walk, watch sports on TV, whatever you normally do to feel better. This too shall pass.
I'm so sorry you're feeling so bereft but it's not permanent. It's burnout and exhaustion on top of depression, maybe there's some resentment in there somewhere....I think once you find someone to talk to and to help you get over this hump you will begin to feel better.
