This one was more difficult than most of our conversations because it's a subject that hits home for Dr. Becky & I both.

Stepping into the role of being a care-giver from being the child is probably one of the most difficult things we'll ever do in our lives. It changes the way our relationship functions, forever. We go from being the daughter to the decision maker, the cook, the housekeeper, the rule maker and keeper, the grocery getter, pill administrator, schedule keeper, appointment setter/taker, and on & on... Some people roll right into it; others run away....

Even though it's truly difficult to see your loved ones decline and potentially suffer, there's a lesson in all of that chaos. There are nuggets to be savored and remembered as you navigate this new normal. It'll never be the same... your relationship is what it is now, and it'll only get more difficult as they decline. Be grateful in the moments you get with them. Allow the old baggage to fall away and try to remember; they know not what they do at times and they need you now more than ever...

In the end, never forget that you became who you are AND you are here because of them... Be grateful in that and know, one day they'll be gone and you rest easy knowing how you showed up for them in their time of need....

No regrets....
