life update
4 years ago
Most of you know my mom as been ill since the family caught Covid in September despite being vaccinated. Today she will be coming home on hospice to spend whatever time she has left with the family.
I will be her primary caregiver along with weekly visits from the Nurse and CNAs. Because of this I will not be taking on any new work for the foreseeable future. For those who have art in progress with me I will be trying to complete them when I have an opportunity but I ask for patience, or you can contact me and we can work something out. I will continue to update my Patreon, sharing classic pieces and sketches during this period.
I appreciate all who have offered well wished and support during this difficult time. It means the world to me. I love you all.

These are tough times. there is no respite I can give other than I have been there, if that is any comfort.

Hospice is and will be the most incredible help.
I'm sorry you're going through this. ❤️
Especially when it's someone you care about so much, it's heartbreaking.
From experience, can say, just do what you REASONABLY can. Ask for help from fam and friends, and do NOT be too proud to admit you need help (because you will need it) or ashamed or feel like you don't want to bother anyone. Caretaker burnout is real and it can hurt everyone.
Just do what you can, and there will be no room for regrets.
Even if you're not dealing with major personality changes, it's also good to remind yourself, this is huge and scary for everyone, and it's going to make people do and say stupid things. Just let it go when you can.
Wish I could be more use, but hope at least this much helps.
Please remember to take care of yourself as well. I know these things are stressful and draining, and it can be hard to justify taking a moment for yourself. But please try to.
