My wife and I helping my daughter with my son in law having brain cancer he passed away at home and left us with two beautiful granddaughters now 6 and 8. We had to deal with this for several years. His parents weren't in the picture.
At the same time my mother had dementia and my brother was taking her for $3000 a month got guardianship she had to be in a care center. I got her and her finances in order.
At work I became affected by the toxic fumes and they tried everything to get rid of me but I made it to retirement.
All this at the same time was tough but I made it through.

I have read somethings on this thread that are far worse and I feel for all of you! Thought I would share because this isn't that uncommon and maybe some can relate.
My hope is that as time goes by the horrific things many of you have gone through that the pain will lessen with time. I find my eyes tearing up sharing this with people I don't know. Take care friends.
