Can any medical professionals or paras out there tell me how to disassociate from the reality of dealing with my eighty-something parents and all their medical issues.

I'm not talking about shutting them out of denying them empathy or support. I mean how do I stop it from wearing me down. I've been at it 24 hours a day for almost three weeks and I'm not sure I can deal with it much longer.

We're starting conversations about care facilities but I'm not sure I will last that long.
