so at 4 AM my mom had another episode, and I was not able to do anything to help her.
Then Mike and Carol managed to get her to make an appointment with her doctor while I was pretty much useless.
sighs ...

Sometimes
Sometimes you are just too close to get through. Too caught up in what going on to find the right words. That's why we need a support group.
Your mother has you there most of the time, but then when you need back up, there's Mike and Carol.
I don't think you really feel useless so much a frustrated because you couldn't get through to her.

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

Help
when a crisis arrives, you're likely already spent from the heavy lifting in her care when things are calmer. Think of it as the person who does all the work in opening the lid on a stubborn jar only to see someone calmly twist off the cap. You've borne the lion's share of her care, and it's taking its toll. You are NOT useless - her situation would have gotten much worse if not for the loving care you've provided.
Love, Andrea Lena
