Caregiver stress: how do I cope?
My husband’s dementia is getting worse, and it’s becoming more difficult to care for him by myself. My friends offer to help but I don’t want to burden them with my responsibility. I don’t know how much more I can handle. What should I do?

How do I help a hoarder?

Mom’s had a stroke.
My Mom is 84 and recently had a mild stroke. She is living on her own and needs physical theory to help get her left side to get moving again. The problem is that she lives about an hour from me, so I cannot see her every day and she really needs more help (both with daily needs and more physical theory than she is currently getting. I am also very worried that she may have had more mirror strokes since the first one. She is not doing well at all. The local government agency in her area cannot offer her more help at this point. How can I help my Mom more?
