Caring for sisters with MI

Caring for sisters with MI

My sister has had depression which has been exacerbated by some recent life events and I have needed to increase support for her following the passing of her dog and changes at her work which appear to have affected staff morale. She now has a knee injury and will be off work for a while (her job is one where she is on her feet most of the day).

I thought it might be nice to have a discussion where those caring gor their sisters could havd a mutual sharing spot.

We do not live nearby so have started phoning regularly but can see that I might need to visit her a little more often in person which will become a little easier as Mr Darcy & I are in the throes of an interstate move and the distance will be substantially reduced.

How are you going @Jane5 and @silhouette with your sisters?

@JS1

Come and meet some others who care for their sisters in different ways.

@silhouette how are things with you?
