Was reading Dear Prudence today and this caught my eye, making me think about you.

I am sorry for what you are going through. I remember it well. And you are right, we are expected to be some Hollywood movie character – selfless, devoted and madly in love – and it’s not that way for many of us, and we have no safe outlets for such feelings.

People do survive caregiving. You will too. Do find something just for yourself. Some outlet/somewhere. I joined a gym that had childcare so I could walk and swim. I also started walking on my lunch break. And I had my angry outlet – rap music. Combined it with jumping on my mini-trampoline after my dd was in bed every night. Point being – just do something for you.

And don’t worry about how you feel. All feelings are necessary and valid and normal. Good luck to you.
