Is It Time to Talk to Someone?
Four quick questions. No pressure, just an honest read on where things stand.
More hospital visits or ER trips than before, without real improvement?
Has a doctor mentioned "months, not years" or stopped talking about a cure?
Eating less, sleeping more, or losing interest in things they used to enjoy?
Are you managing more care at home than feels sustainable?
