I would also add that many people are not used to asking for help like this, and he may need to really encourage his mother to get requests out of her. It took a long time for my father to ask for help, and I could have been helping sooner. |

I actually meant: as one of the primary caregivers, you will be very busy and very drained emotionally. Accept help if offered.
The examples above would have been useful to me, if only to spare some energy for getting through the week.
It was also very draining on me to have people come around to talk about things and "support" us (actually the reverse in many cases), so I would also try to avoid these favours becoming social events. That's what would work for me, anyway.
