How do we untether ourselves from the people we imagined we’d become? That is EXACTLY the question that Zachary White and I turned over and over again in our book The Unexpected Journey of Caring: The Transformation From Loved One to Caregiver. It's a question that confounds us. Put another way, how can we stop wishing to be somewhere else, doing something else? Or, what is the new operating system I need to live this life of care? (My old one isn't working.) Thank you for another great newsletter, Cori!
I'd say it's a topic you discuss in both of your books, in different ways. It's such a tricky thing to balance advocating for change while accepting the current reality. I know it hasn't always been easy for you. I appreciate your showing us that finding balance is possible!
