So when this is part of your life, we've
0:03
got to look at balance. We've got to
0:04
look at kind of reclaiming our joy and
0:07
and becoming uh adaptable in these
0:10
moments. And caretaking can really feel
0:12
like it just swallows your life. But
0:15
adaptability means finding moments of
0:17
joy even when they're really short, even
0:20
when they're small. Looking for
0:22
gratitude everywhere that you can. Um
0:24
because these seasons can be long to
0:26
endure. Maybe, you know, you and your
0:28
parents share a laugh over old photos or
0:31
you reminisce and talk about things that
0:32
you used to do. But finding quiet
0:35
moments for yourself with, you know, a
0:37
cup of coffee and a sunset uh or a cup
0:40
of coffee and a sunrise or or just
0:42
taking in a sunset. Really, those quiet
0:45
moments of gratitude are are so
0:47
important and and they help you to
0:49
remind yourself that you're still you
0:51
and your parent is still more than their
0:53
illness. And that's hard to remember
0:55
when you're really consumed with the
0:57
caretaking responsibilities.
