Hello, my name is Jaime, and I've been caregiving for a close friend of mine, who's been diagnosed with ALS.
I decided to try the forum, to help understand my own emotions and questions I have while watching the awful disease that is taking a friend of mine.
Im 32, my friend is 71. He's been a huge support in my life and I feel such an honour that I am able to help him through this diagnoses as much as possible.
I've read up as much as I can on the disease, but I am still so very overwhelmed with emotions that it triggers for me as a care giver, as well as trying to stay strong for him.
Does anyone have advice for literature, or ways to calm an anxious mind about this awful disease. I am really looking for ways to keep me healthy so I can provide the best care I can.
Thank you in advance.
