I started caring for family members when I was 18 years old. A month after my 19th birthday, my grandma lost her battle with lung cancer. After I graduated from high school, my dad was diagnosed with heart problems. I took care of him until I was 28 years old, when he passed away from heart and respiratory failure. Nearly thirteen years later, I still have an issue with his death. It has caused me to suffer from depression and anxiety.
