We all grieve in different ways.
In my caregiving village this year, I have lost my father and mother-in-law and have felt the emotions of grieving.
As a caregiver dealing with long-term illness, however, I do not have the luxury of grieving how I feel most comfortable or necessary for my emotions.
Grieving has to fit into the caregiving schedule. There are still visits to my father-in-law, doctor visits with Dan, and all the other ordinary caregiving tasks.
A caregiver often does not have the same freedom as others to follow the journey of grieving.
Nancy, thank you for sharing. It is a difficult balancing act and I don’t see you daily, but you do an amazing job from what I do see. Your grace overflows to those around you. Thank you for giving the rest of us a role model.
