After 10 years, I relinquished my role of primary caregiver for my 94-year old mother when she moved into a LTC home closer to my sister.
Since then, I have been working hard to get my life back.
There is a resource: The Anxiety And Worry Workbook (David A. Clark and Aaron T. Beck) that has been helpful. I read/do exercises in it every day.
The caregiving marathon left me depleted and with a narrow fear-based world view. I am focusing on cultivating an inner sense of expansion these days. I wish that I could say that this is easy work: it isn’t. I know that I have to do it, however, as the quality of my life depends on it.
I hope that the workbook helps someone else here.
Thanks for sharing this book with us. I am looking in on it!
