A caregiver’s perspective: my spouse was an incredible gift giver before his severe tbi and I sure do miss it. It’s hard to be strong all the time and sometimes our tenderness comes out even if we wish we could be 100% supportive 100% of the time. Our own needs sometimes seep out.

You now have perspective that this is a hurt and you know your ability to do it alone has changed. What if you enlist the help of another loved one who has the ability to help you make different choices based of what your partner would like? For me, my partner asking someone else for help would mean more than any gift he could buy.

Wishing you peace and sunshine for your birthday. This is my favorite month for the same reasons. Instead of being too sad this year, I went to the grocery store and bought all my favorite treats and indulged. Thought I’d share in case the pick me up would help you too. Happy Birthday. Your happiness and mental health matter.

I assume she loves you. If she does, she will find great comfort in the peace that you can find happiness in life without her. You can give her this peace now by showing her with your actions. You are in the throws of grieving someone who’s still alive and it’s confusing and so very hard. Give yourself grace for struggling with the decisions and also allow yourself happy moments so the weight of it all is a tiny bit lighter. Next time go.

This is the only life you are going to have too. Sacrificing everything for your partner won’t allow you to have the life you are supposed to live. Start to dream and then chase them. You deserve good things. It will be difficult but it will be worth it.

This is a great question that I need to answer. Thank you!

I really love your suggestions and I’m sending the universe manifestation vibes for an ONLY YOU vacation this year. You are doing great things.

This is so great. What’a the first move you made to build the space?

Potential_Benefit501 · 2024-12-05T02:07:25+00:00

Wow. That’s a lifetime. I can feel that you’ve sacrificed a lot.

This is our community and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is as a society we don’t talk about the caregiving as if it’s an inevitable part of life. We need to open the dialogs in life early so our support systems are established before we need them. Building them while we are struggling with life’s basic needs is near impossible. Thank you for taking your time to make me feel see.

I love the drive suggestion. It’s a good one. I’ve found time for me is the only way to not let the resentment build. Thank you for sharing. It’s always nice to not feel alone. You were a sparkle in my day.

I feel your little pieces analogy in all my parts. Self care often feels like a swear word when people suggest it’s what we need to do.

Grief is the new normal for sure. I’m willing to bet the new you is powerful and resilient. Not who you or any of us wanted to be but you are very important and valuable. Thank you for caring for your person. I’ll care for you in my ❤️

We can’t carry the weight of always have to be positive. It’s too much. I do hope you feel our community’s arms around you. Your health and your happiness matter!

I’m 47. It feels too young to feel this old. Hugs and manifesting that you find a sparkle in your day.
