Sharing wisdom that comes from parenting our parents
Funny how caregiving is the gift that just keeps on giving. We think it is just about the physical care and emotional roller coaster of caring for loved ones. With their passing comes a whole new package of personal work that circles around to address the many things we ignored during the times of providing care.
Caregiving is as much an emotional roller-coaster for things about the caregiver as it is to the caregiving itself.
Loss is loss, no matter which way you cut it but how we handle loss is key to empowered caregiving
Loss is inevitable. We give up things so we can grow.As caregivers we learn to let go of things and persons that we have become intrinsically attached to over much of our lifetime. It feels like we’re doing it all wrong but we’re not.
