Cumulative stress makes sense. I spent five years taking care of my husband who had dementia. I thought there would be a break when he went to a memory care facility, but not so. Among other things, while there he got COVID there and died. Then, I had to make decisions about his life, take over responsibility for our lives, and begin living on my own for the first time. I can identify with most of the emotional symptoms - they are ever present even though it has been awhile.
