This morning on Your Caregiving Journey, Holly, who cares for her husband, joined me for Table Talk. You can listen to our show via the player below.
Our conversation today centered on trusting our life, which can seem utterly impossible when life seems too difficult or unfair. Holly shared that her life is better when she trusts, when she surrenders. When life seems tough to her, she’ll ask herself, “Am I resisting ‘What is?’” If she is, she moves to another question: “What is my life about?” She then focuses on being grateful and simplifying.
On previous shows, Holly shared her rock bottom moment, when she wanted to walk out her of life. Surrendering and trusting kept her in life. When she looks back at her darkest days in caregiving, she realizes she was wishing her life away. Now. she realizes the situations in her life are meant for her to experience.
Our show went long today so we could spend a few moments talking about the holidays. Holly shared a change in a holiday tradition this year, how she’s going to manage the disgruntled reaction to the change from her adult children and how she welcomes new members to the family (her son’s girlfriend will spend the holidays).
I hope you enjoy today’s show. And, I’d love to know: How do you trust your life?
