Love Them Well
Discussing philosophy of caring for aging parents with Nancy Manos
This episode provides a helpful foundational philosophy to guide us as we care for our loved ones.
We take on the challenging tasks because we want to honor those who we love.
We become students ourselves of what is ailing our loved ones to understand why things are so hard for them, and what we can change about ourselves to support them in their struggle. We become their health advocates.
We take care of ourselves by honoring our own needs so that we can better care for them.
We can struggle in misery, or, we can take the option to choose joy during hardship. Finding joy makes us stronger to walk the road ahead.
