in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

This is an extremely difficult, unexpected journey we are all on. Every day has so many challenges, it sometimes feels like the rest of life is passing us by because our loved ones and our focus have become narrower. While everyone else is getting ready for Christmas, we struggle every day to give our very best and run on low reserves. I wish you peace, personal peace, for every caregiver out there. May you find a few moments every day to breathe deeply, give yourself grace and find something in your life to be grateful for. We are all doing our very best and I want you to know we are all in this together. I wish you peace.

    @RetiredTeacher and all, my wish for us all is peace, as well as wellness. Happiness is not on my radar but trying to priortize my own health.

    Thank you so much for the lovely post. Hard to keep up with all the lovely people on this site . Unfortunately, we seem to be growing and growing. It’s such a terrible and wonderful thing… this group. I am so so grateful for each and everyone of you and I wish you peace, joy, comfort and any other wonderful emotion you can conjure up. @RetiredTeacher and everyone here💕💜

    Beautiful post, thank you! This is a tough season to get through but we’ll make it. We always do, don’t we? There is always something to be grateful for if we make a conscious effort to think about it. Hard to do when you’re faced with sadness, frustration and loss every day. Stop, breathe, and try to focus on the little joys every day.
