Should You Give Up Your Life to Care for An Elderly Parent or Relative?

Not an easy question and no easy answers. Lots of people struggle with this every day. Some find they can arrange for services and supports and still carry on with their own daily life without much disruptions. On the other hand, many take leave from a career or family to provide care at home instead of admit an elderly relative or spouse to a nursing facility. What are the sacrifices and what are the rewards? When do you draw the line and step back into your life? What are the considerations that helped you decide on a good plan.....Or what were the events that made it clear the price was too high?
