Lately, I’ve been sitting with a heavy question. In caregiving, there comes a point where it feels like you are being robbed at gunpoint: choose your parent's life, or let go of your own.
Putting your entire world on pause to stay at your dying parent's bedside is a blessing. It is a profound honor to help them carry their cross when they are at their weakest. But, ripping yourself away from your job or business to do it? It simply isn’t sustainable to hold on to both if your parent is in another state far away... You cannot be in two different places at once.
If you have the chance to care for your dying parent, do it!!!
But, let’s be honest about the toll.
