I'm an outgoing assertive, altruistic creative being. While some argue whether the glass is half full or half empty, I'll make it pretty and sell it.

Now What?

If you were a caregiver whose loved one is now in a full-time care facility, you may be find yourself having lots of questions:

Now what?

What am I supposed to do now that I’m not caring for someone 24/7?

Why do I feel so lost?

Why do I want to sleep so much?

Sound familiar? I could go on, but you get the idea. When you have been a caregiver for someone for
so long, it’s sometimes hard to find “you” again. Lots of extra time sounds wonderful and scary
all once. And if you’re like I was, you may even feel guilty that you have the
freedom to do what you want for a change. It took me awhile. After all, I was a caregiver for 10
years. Being able to sleep without always “having one eye open” or “listening for your person”
sounds good, right? But being able to do that takes time. And really, before you can
even consider what you want to do next, you need to learn to relax, breathe and just BE.
And in my case, THAT was progress. No need to figure it all out today…take your time; be good
to yourself; listen to your body and your heart. Give yourself some grace. You deserve it.
