I get it.
I get it because I’ve been there.
You have a loved one who is disabled or older and you are states away. You can’t be there to visit daily, check on home health, interview aides, complain to the nursing home administrator or tell your loved one in person they are loved.
When something goes wrong, you hop on a plane, you get there, solve the problem, miss work, miss your family, do your best, make decisions, hold hands, pray and fly home. Then it happens again, and again, and again.
Many experts are writing on this issue – including great suggestions on how to be a better long distance caregiver.
