Spreading yourself thin
Managing your household while doing your best to help aging family members….Yikes! Mastering this is a huge challenge. I’ve just come off of a year of intense parent transition issues while helping my lovely daughters transition into college and young adulthood.
First the care and assistance of mother, step-father, mother-in-law, father-in-law, to the death of step father and mother-in-law (two months apart), and now the focus of my mother and my father-in-law. It’s been a wild ride, and I’ve learned lots.
There was much joy and beauty in it all, and, knock me over with a feather, I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined myself saying that!
It doesn’t have to be wrought with heaviness and angst, unless, of course, you want it to be!
