Find Care & Housing
Every time I had a stressful CG time with DH, I would want to shut down and sleep. And if one of the kids offered to be home with him, that's exactly what I did.

I take a nap almost everyday. With DH WFH he has been aware of this and has commented on it. Since the cancer, this is the new norm. He's never seen me so easily fatigued and I have to care for myself as he certainly does not. Having him at home working has been really bad--he treats the house as his office, I have to be quiet at all times, and he eats all day and leaves messes all over.

Sometimes I go down for a 'nap' at 4 pm and don't get up again. If I sleep like that, it means my body needs it and I am learning to listen to my body and treat myself better.

I'm of zero use to anyone who catches me when I am so tired.

Well, when I was the primary caregiver and I was sleep deprived, sleep is the best answer!

I hope you are able to get sleep soon 💤.

Take care.
