When Caregiving Ends 💔: What Can You to Do? How CAN you Cope? 🤷🏽😢
#griefandloss #griefjourney #unconditionallove #family
Grief has no words 💔🥲
When Caregiving ends, the roller coaster of :
🥲Grief
🥲Guilt - did I do anything wrong? Also guilt because of relief from the load of Caregiving, can feel like betrayal.
🥲Regret
🥲Second-guessing
🥲Doubt- did I do the right thing? What went wrong?
🥲Emptiness
🥲Loss of purpose and even identity- who AM I now, because Caregiving WAS your identity
ALL of these feelings- ARE normal- roll with them- you may just burst into tears in the supermarket because the "list" is no more
🔊TALK! Don't isolate yourself, but take time to be alone- just to "be"- pray, meditate, breathe.
If overwhelmed, you may need professional help to get you through.
BE REASSURED:
"GRIEF IS THE PRICE WE PAY FOR LOVE" - you loved 💞, and that's why it hurts so much; your loved one KNEW you loved them and that MATTERS !
You WILL be ok🫂💗
From my heart to yours💗
