I admire you, Susan, for taking on the role of caregiver to your mum. I can only imagine how challenging it must be, and how much you must sacrifice daily, in order to be there for her fully. Not to mention how physically and emotionally draining it must be on you. But to see your mum benefit from having you take care of her, must make it all worthwhile. Bless your kind heart, and blessings of healing and strength to your mum. ❤
Thanks, Anna, but I definitely feel you’re giving me more credit than is due! I don’t feel present at all and often I feel we are doing her a disservice keeping her home. I don’t know. It’s hard. I am grateful for this beautiful place where we live and the community here. I guess there will always be questions and what ifs but I am here. And I do my best but also know my well being is critical and living that can be very challenging on many levels. Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼
Wowser - that first photo, Susan!! Eyes and mind blown!! I love all the sunrise and sunset photos you take. I'm so glad that the link I shared from Karen Walrond's recommendation resonated. I look forward to seeing your creations.
I'm sending big hugs, because the paradox we feel is the acceptance-'compliance'-peace-but 'decline?' sadness and general heartsink more easily. And YES, 'rallying' or 'putting on a show' until the door closes, or in my Dad's case it was 'comforting others-to deflect attention'.
Thanks, Victoria 🙏🏼 Paradox is definitely the feeling. And somehow it doesn’t get easier! So much change with all the changes. Interesting how we can see the patterns our parents adopt/adopted and how those play out. Grateful for your words 🧡
