July 26, 2015. January 17, 2016. Caring for Aging Parents: 4 Essential Steps to Navigating Change. I travel on airplanes a lot. Usually, my primary focus is on whether I can get a coffee refill and how much longer I can procrastinate writing my blog. So, basically, exactly the same as when I am at home only minus the barking dogs. But a big gust of turbulence can quickly change all of this. The bumpy ride doesn’t scare me but it does refocus me.

the beauty we love: I have come into this world to see this

http://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-have-come-into-this-world-to-see-this.html

The beauty we love. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. I have come into this world to see this. I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men's hands even at the height of their arc of anger because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound and it is the Beloved's. I have come into this world to experience this: men so true to love they would rather die before speaking an unkind word, men so true their lives are His covenant - the promise of hope.

"I Feel Guilty for Making Decisions Alone." - Caregivers With Hope

http://caregiverswithhope.com/caregivers

8220;I Feel Guilty for Making Decisions Alone.”. January 1, 2016. The Guilt of Unilateral Decisions for Caregivers. Sitting across the table from a man caring for his wife who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, I couldn’t help but see the weariness in his eyes on his face. When a mutual friend asked me to meet with him, the comment was simply, He’s worn out, and I think you could be of help to him. Worn Out seemed to be an understatement. I understand feeling that loss of identity perhaps on levels that f...

Dear Caregiver, It's Normal - Hello Ladies

http://helloladies.com/dear-caregiver-its-normal

Heroine of the Week. Ignorant Legislator of the Week. Shoes & Fun. Smart, busy women balancing kids, careers, caregiving and more. Dear Caregiver, It’s Normal.

It’s normal for hating yourself for feeling that way. It’s normal to enjoy aspects of your parent’s age and illness like the quiet time it gives the two of you to just sit and be together.
