I'm not sure I can cope anymore.   Feel like I am falling apart at the seams.  Trying to stay strong but failing.   Husband had myeloma and amyloids,  in hospital now and each day brings a new symptom.   I'm having a really bad 'can't cope ' day.  Sorry to be so useless.

    Don't be down on yourself, you're dealing with the hardest stuff life can throw at you. Caring can be utterly overwhelming and lots of us feel we can't cope. Have you looked at the Carers UK forum? One look will tell you you're not alone in how you're feeling.

    Remember it's important to have time off and look after yourself. Don't feel guilty about taking a break or giving yourself some respite x

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
