I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this. Are your parents going to their doctor’s appointments and taking their prescribed medications?
Last year my dad died after an illness and I became (and still serve as) my mom’s primary caregiver for a disease with no cure. At times, the stress was so bad I thought I couldn’t go on. I eventually learned to remove everything from my life that wasn’t providing some kind of joy or benefit to me. I also started participating in regular therapy sessions for the first time.
If you want to talk, my DMs are open.

Sounds like a solid plan. Watching our parents get older and (possibly) get sick at some point is really difficult, but unfortunately it is often part of life if both you and they are lucky enough to live that long, and if you all have a good relationship.
Going through all of this made me realize how much strength I truly have.
Wishing you and your family all the best ❤️.
Take advantage of the family leave benefit and take some time off to help them / focus on your family (and yourself).

Therapy. Nobody here is going to be able to help you with that other than perhaps providing personal anecdotes.
If possible know that you're able to take a LOA
See if your firm offers Wellthy, they really helped manage things with my MIL and I plan to use now with my mom who was just diagnosed w Alzheimer’s
Sending you lots of love. Will keep you and your family on my prayers!
That’s always tough. I’m a lot older so am dealing with parents in the mid- and late-80s. Prayers to you on that one.
