Many of us, myself included, come from a dysfunctional family which adds a lot of weight to the challenges of caregiving. I have read stores on various threads on other topics and decided it would be good to have a thread just for this topic for people to share, vent and discuss.
The idea for this thread originated on the thread named "The Caregiver....How are YOU doing today?"

Follow your heart,
but take your brain with you.

Don’t let anyone become a vacuum & suck the happiness out of you - pull the plug.

Make a list of things that make you happy.
Make a list of things you do every day.
Compare the lists.

Happiness is
...going for it
(whatever - it - might be).
🙂🙂🙂🙂
Happiness is
...having to not care what people think of you.
🙂🙂🙂🙂
Happiness is
...when you stop obsessing over someone who’s wronged you.
“Don’t force yourself to fit in somewhere you don't belong.”
Makes so much sense, I never understood why my mom at 89 is so fearful of death, I just feel like you start accepting it at a point, or you should, you can't have life without death. I thought it would be natural to accept it, especially when you are in pain, and everything becomes such a struggle.

my grands are 10 now entering 5 th grade in August. I don’t see them daily and that they are out for summer break, I can plan some things to do once a week. I am limited on what we can do together because of my chronic pain.
the chronic pain is a result of bone on bone in the right hip socket. A hip replacement is planned for august. My recent bloodwork shows minor damage to the kidneys from over and long use of ibuprofen. I am now prescribed naproxen, it apparently is easier on the kidneys. None of these meds are for long term use. I used ibuprofen for a good 8 years.
my husbands service was on April 11. My brother in law and sister in law as well as once niece and great nephews came out from California. It was a beautiful service with a chaplain reading scripture, US Army presented me a folded flag, medallion and 3 spent shells from the 3 gun salute by the VFW.
I believe my husband had dementia that caused his accident. After having COVID, he was struggling paying bills. He either did not pay them or he over paid. My husband would not discuss money or bills. It is apparent he was struggling. My son found a gun holster and a 20 inch long sword attached behind his headboard area. His guns were in the gun gun safe. My son and brother in law took the guns.
my life is quiet, peaceful and full of 4 pets I take care of as well as rearranging my house the best I can with chronic pain. Most things will be done after my hip replacement and healing.
Best wishes to everyone and i hope summer is good for everyone.
Great to hear from you and that things falling in order for you.
you. Good luck with your surgery.

Be grateful to those who leave you,
for they have given you the room
to grow in the space they abandoned.
Gosh, those kids are growing up fast!
Glad hubby's service went well. I think you are right about the dementia. It creeps up on one.
Sharyn I am sorry to hear about the kidney problems. Hope it is nothing too serious. Yourlife sounds good. I am happy for that. As we get older peace, and pets seem to be more important. (((((hugs)))) Keep us updated.

When you allow the wrong people into your life, stuff will come up missing like: Joy, Peace, Love, Hope... (Yes, people steal these things!)

Death is more universal than life.
Everyone dies.
But not everyone lives.

If you don’t start out the day with a smile, it’s not too late to start practicing for tomorrow.

Sometimes the weight you need to lose isn't on your body.
