Grief makes us feel like we are out of control. We do or say things that we wouldn't normally do. This episode I break down what happens when we act like that. Usually if we back track we can pin point the moment that we first started to feel out of control or like a failure. We try to push it away until we no longer can, when then it comes out in a way we don't want it to.

Watching your loved one slowly fade away over time is it's own sort of torture. This is true with cancer. This is especially true with diseases such as Alzheimers, Parkinson's, ALS, and Huntington's disease.

This episode I specifically talk about Alzheimers because of the way the disease progresses. Your loved one can forget who you are years before they die. You want their suffering to stop. You want your suffering to stop. Then you feel guilty because you don't want them to die and can't believe you thought that.

This a natural response. Thinking this doesn't not make you a horrible person. In fact, I have found that often the opposite is true. You love so deeply and that makes you a wonderful, beautiful person. Book a free call to talk through this pain with someone who understands.
