Read/ watch Gabor Mate on this. Carers lives are shortened by this constant burden. The whole family / "village" should rally round and help but alas in many families one person is the sacrificial lamb.

Generations of men have been trained to focus on their careers while taking it for granted that women do double shifts at work and at home.
