1) Is frustration among family members who take care of someone with (late stage) ALS common? Sometimes to the point of yelling and crying?
2) I don't quite know what others go through when a family member has ALS. Bouts of depression can go on for days and affect me as well. I try to be there to comfort but it never quite feels like I can do enough. What else can I do?
3) Do people with ALS who rely on family for everything ever grow resentful of them?
4) The person I know has been living with ALS for at least 6 years. Recently, they have been in and out of the hospital due to feeding tube complications. Should I prepare myself?
I don't mean to sound insensitive and if I have, I apologize. Thanks for any help.
