Looking for a support group of other caregivers. We become quite isolated and have no one to talk to that understands the challenges of caring for others. We seem to become insignificant and used up. And yet caring for others is a rewarding job. Would love to meet others in Tampa thast relate to this "unique life" :)
Many of us here [this website is worldwide] lean on each other for emotional support. If if you have a specific question or just want to vent, feel free. We are listening.
I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. Being a caregiver does takes its toll. I hope you are able to find the supports that are needed for yourself. I found this website for caregivers in Tampa that I hope will help you. Wishing you well.

Do you feel that you had to give up your lifestyle in order for others to continue with their own? I felt that way with my very elderly parents who still lived in their house. I wasn't hands-on, was logistical, because I was a senior citizen myself. It was the most difficult time of my life that was 7 years long, and create health issues for myself :(
