being a caregiver is starting to wear me down

hopingforlife

I recently became a caregiver for my little cousin Ashleya. I am not sure how much I can take with it. I really dearly love my little cousin but it scares me seing her sick while fighting cancer. Has anyone else felt similar to what I am feeling?

Lyrics

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother...
