Caregiver

[red]

I did not know where to post this so if I am sorry if I am in the wrong place. I also may have posted this before, not sure. Does anyone know if there is any caregiver help for a 100% t&p vet that has a incapacitated spouse. As lot of you know on this board my wife had a terrible stroke 7 years ago and I have been her caregiver 24/7 the full seven years. It has just about got me down, I did not sleep at night for over two weeks, not a wink. I would go to sleep around 6 in the am and sleep to around two.

I went to the va and was told I was in deep depression and was given a med that helped me sleep. But she continues to fall, fell 3 times this week and I had to rush her to emergency once, I caught her twice. I run scared all the time and just need some help. I have been told that no help is available. I have some money but if I spend it on a caregiver, and happen to God forbid pass away before my wife, she might not have enough to be taken care of. I am a very strong man but feel I need some help. If any one know how you can get help please let me know. Thanks and have a great week.
