A Mother’s Realisation and a Daughter’s Dilemma
Marlene had always been close to her daughter, Tami. For years, they had shared a warm and loving relationship. However, when Marlene was diagnosed with dementia, things began to change. At first, Marlene could still manage most things independently, but as time went on, her condition worsened.
Tami, who worked from home, became her full-time caregiver. She was dedicated, never
complained, and always put her mother’s needs first. However, as the days turned into months,
the weight of full-time caregiving began to take its toll. Tami was constantly exhausted. Between
work commitments and caring for her mother, there was little time left for herself. Marlene, on
the other hand, noticed her daughter’s stress, especially during the moments when her own mind
was clearer.
One afternoon, as Marlene had one of her more lucid moments, she gently took Tami’s hand.
“Darling, you need a break,” she said, her voice full of love and concern. Marlene understood
how much Tami cared for her, but she also knew how hard the burden had become. “You need to
take a holiday. Go and rest. Enjoy yourself. You’ve been working so hard. I’ll be fine,” she
added.
However, as the conversation continued, Marlene could see the conflict in Tami’s eyes. Tami
had always been afraid to leave her mother in someone else’s care. She was not sure how
strangers would treat Marlene. Marlene understood her daughter’s concerns but also realised that
Tami’s well-being mattered just as much.
The Stress of Full-Time Caregiving
Are you feeling the weight of caregiving? Whether you are a family member or a friend, the
pressure of caring for a loved one full-time can feel overwhelming. It is emotionally and
physically exhausting. And it’s easy to feel like you never get a break.
You love your family member, and you want to take care of them. But even the most dedicated
caregiver can experience burnout. The guilt, the exhaustion, and the constant need to be on-call
can take a toll. That’s where we can help.
Caring for someone full-time is not sustainable without proper support. It is important to take
care of yourself, too. You cannot pour from an empty cup. And when you take the time to
recharge, you will be able to offer even better care in the long run.
How Our Services Can Support You and Your Loved One

- Flexible Care Options: If you are unsure about leaving your loved one with someone new, start small. You can hire a care agent for just a few hours a day or several times a week.
