Caregiver in You : Inspirational Thoughts and Artwork

Most of us, at some time in our lives, will confront the daunting tasks of providing for the well being of a loved one. We become immersed in the turmoil of events and emotions surrounding the patient - and lose ourselves in the process. During the process of caregiving, and even beyond its eventual end, we experience guilt, anger, fatigue, frustration, doubt and remorse. Is there a way to soften the blows of these debilitating circumstances? The Caregiver in You prompts us to give ourselves permission to acknowledge shifting circumstances. The illustrations beckon us to study and create new meanings that apply to our own life experiences. We are reminded to broaden our concept of love to include ourselves as well as those for whom we give care... and to do so without fear. We walk with angels when we devote our energies and hearts to the well being of others, and this gives us validation to embrace the caregiver within.
