You have done amazing things for LilBit. Sooner or later we have to lean into the foundation of helpers outside our home. It’s so so hard to do but without this help we will collapse before our loved one. Be easy with yourself. It sounds like your counselor understands you and that is certainly a lifeline! My heart is with you! I feel your pain. Rest and feed yourself and make those visits when you can. 🙏🏼💗💗
