I do get stressed and tired at times however so far I havent felt the cold heart. I am a lucky caregiver. While it is difficult to watch your Mother age it is the natural order of life. Unfortunately we must one day see our parent leave us and it is painful. I use the word lucky because I am 50 and have had my Mom my entire life. I know children who lost their parents who would deserve to have a cold attitude more than I. It is much harder for those who have sick spouses. If I were going through that I would probably feel more angry for sure not to mention those caring for sick children. I totally understand how it would be very easy to have a cold heart in those instances and I pray for those caregivers to find some warmth in their day. For me while again it does get stressful I most days have a warm heart knowing I am doing my best to give my Mother as good a last chapter as I can. I suppose in closing I have hardened my heart to not feel emotion so this post does apply. Having gone through it once before with my Aunt I know the final gift the end brings when you do the right thing while they are here. My Aunt watches over me every day and knowing that helps....
