Scenario

When friend groups burn out during extended illness care

Our friend group has been taking turns caring for someone with pneumonia for two weeks and we're all exhausted and starting to get short with each other — nobody wants to say they can't do more but we're running out of steam and beginning to resent the coordination.

More people experience this than they realize.
