If you are the one doing it all, this is for you.
Three things that make taking a break easier:
Start smaller than you think. One afternoon, not a whole week.
Hand over the routine, not just the hours. The tea, the chair, the time of day that gets hard.
Meet the caregiver first. You are not handing your parent to a stranger.
Families hesitate because it feels like admitting something. It is not. Nobody does real work indefinitely without rest.
