What My Journey Has Taught Me
Confronting My Caregiving-Related Trauma
Comparing or minimizing our caregiving-related trauma can prevent us from healing. It’s never about the label itself, it’s about finding the tools, strategies, and supports to help you heal, find acceptance, and live a meaningful life.
What Resistance Teaches Us
What I discovered was that resistance is two energies competing against one another. The energy to evolve versus the energy to stay the same.
There's a Superhero in All of Us
If I had to choose a female superhero to represent a family caregiver, I would choose a warrior that has a shield engraved with the letter “S”. The “S” stands for softness, spirit and self-awareness.
Choosing Compassion
When people get tired and frustrated, compassion is usually one of the first things to go out the window. When actually, that’s when we need it most. Both compassion for ourselves and compassion for others.
Support & Hope
But now I understand the importance of hope. Parents of children with autism need stories of inspiration and hope so that they never give up on their kids.
Accepting the Journey, Stress and All
Harmony vs Balance
Simply having the discussion and mindset shift feels better - and also gives me reassurance that I can trust myself as a Mom.
