A little space to work things out
You don't have
to carry it all.
The appointments. The phone calls. The things you remember so nobody else has to.
Take a few minutes to notice what you're carrying and choose one thing you could ask for help with.
Your answers stay on this page. They are not sent to Daughterhood or saved for your next visit. Copy anything you want to keep before closing or refreshing.
01 / Make it visible
What's taking up your headspace?
Tap any that fit. There is no score and no right answer.
You don't need to include anyone's name, diagnosis or private details.
03 / Find the words
Start the conversation.
Make your message, then edit it until it sounds like you.
What if they say no?
You could ask: “Is there a smaller task or another time you could commit to?” A no doesn't mean your need for help has gone away.
If there isn't someone you can safely ask, a local carers organisation may be a useful place to talk through other options.
Do not leave essential support uncovered. If nobody can take over, contact the relevant care team or a local carers organisation to discuss support.
