I am a retired geriatric nurse so have a lot of experience dealing with this. I always loved the elderly and this was what I chose to do. I also took care of my grandmother when she had cancer. And my younger sister twice after she needed help after medical issues. I pray always for guidance. And I give a lot of love to whomever I'm taking care of. I focus on what I'm doing, the person I'm taking care of, and also take things one step at a time, so I don't feel so overwhelmed. I hope this helps
