Perfect timing to read this, Victoria. Thank you for sharing your words. We have full lives in which caregiving is one of the aspects. I hope the sunshine sustained and shone some of its love on you. Happy dance! 🌞
It is a joy to read this, Victoria. It didn’t feel like it at the time - I was too exhausted to sort out my feelings - but I do know now that it was love that saw me through. Enjoy your respite! I’m thrilled for you!
I loved reading a little bit more of your personal experience and the sense of joy in it! It's not all painful and hard and terrible. Finding moments of joy in the in-between is such an important lesson in and of itself. <3
Thanks, Anna. I'm very blessed. As YOU know, there is a lot of bittersweet tearing pain, but there is love, deep inside. It's tough trying to find the space and hold it in the moments of pain. I deeply respect all the things you and other 'sandwichers' do. Me, myself and I struggle on our own! ;-) I'm grateful for our mutual appreciation and connection. xo
Victoria, this was very feeling and meaningful -even though as I receive it, I am not a carer. I’ve forwarded your site to a friend who—suddenly—has become a carer for her beloved husband.
This landed in my inbox at the perfect time. Right in the moment I needed it. I’m a caregiver for my mother as well. I also left behind the corporate world. I love my mother with all my heart. But I also feel all the very real complex feelings of all caregivers. … every word here is a reminder to lean into the love. Accept and embrace where I am in this moment, and have those eyes wide open for life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Ohhh I’m so glad. I’m just on my way out into sunshine with ‘freedom’ in my earphones! You’ve made my day knowing its landed & resonates! I highly recommend doing a little dance about to George & Mary J- it helps honest!

Thanks Susan! It was more of funk-soul-strut around the shops ;-) I may update this but because I share, to care: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6HSIGpaO15Ad8HqUn5R34x?si=c748d74347c84e03

Thank you Marlena. The more we can network to help our friends and family, the more good empathy and inspiration ciculates. GOOD karma!
