#caregiver #caregiving #selflessone

I totally hear you. It’s real. Your feelings are valid, your feelings are real. Your feelings are important. I do understand how everything that is happening with your husband, being that he’s a stroke survivor, is really serious. But that doesn’t mean that your needs, desires, and emotions are invalid. They still are important, you still feel, get exhausted, run out of energy, have needs that need to be met. I’m really glad you shared your feelings. We’re all in this together. And it makes it a little bit easier when we can be very transparent, open and honest about our needs, and what it feels like to be a caregiver to someone who’s a stroke survivor. And yes I hear you, you’re blessed to still have your husband with you. And he’s going through some tough times, but so are you. I’ve been doing this for a while, I’ve had to get really good, at reweaving my life. Our life. And letting go of certain dreams, we still have dreams, but they’re different. Life can still be sweet. I hope you have time, soon to have a little cup of tea, look out a window at something beautiful. Take a shower uninterrupted. Small pleasures. Hang in there we’re with you.
