FAIRYTALEs we tell ourselves

As caregivers sometimes we lie. Sometimes we even convince ourselves that we know what’s best. But mostly we just hang on until our fingers bleed.
To be a caregiver is to be a juggler, a fortune teller and a ringleader. Could anything be more all consuming than to try to manage a situation that is outside your control?
There is much to be said of the adage “let go and let God”.
I haven’t posted much lately because I am so fatigued, burnt out, depressed and foggy. My thoughts are not clear so that makes it hard write. I’m hoping that will change soon.
I had wanted this blog to be a gathering place for mucosal melanoma caregivers to gather and share their struggles. That didn’t happen and I have only documented my pains. I no longer care about what should have been. I need to talk about the grief and loss I feel. I invite you to comment on your caregiving struggles.

Carers need love too!❤️
