Hi Friend,
Some of us just find ourselves by choice or default in a situation where we are carrying for someone with a chronic illness. It might be a child, a parent, a sibling or friend.
It is difficult to be in this position and you might find yourself putting your own healing or emotional wellness on the back-burner.
Here is something for you to consider as you tend to your loved one:
|
|
In order for your loved one to feel any peace or healing, they are going to need to be able to feel compassion, which they may or may not be able to do.
While you are caring for someone, your own emotional needs may not be getting met, which means it becomes even more difficult to offer compassion to them.
|
|
What you need more than anything is compassion for yourself.
|
|
When you are compassionate with your own emotional needs, the Divine becomes a source of comfort and fulfillment for you.
When your needs are met, you are better able to remain in compassion with your loved one in their best and worst moments.
I'll be discussing this and more in an upcoming telesummit with Lori LeCarl—Zero Limits: Raise Your Vibration About Alzheimers.
We'll talk about:- What you should be aware of when you are an empathic and sensitive person caring for another
- What I discovered my mother most needed from me when she was terminally ill
- What you should do about feelings of resentment and regret that come up when you are caring for someone else
- What is real forgiveness and how can it help you have an easier time with someone who is ill, and being unkind to you

|
Although the telesummit is focused on caring for people with Alzheimers, you'll find our discussion will apply if you are caring for anyone! |

Holding you in my heart and songs,
