Self-Forgiveness - The Antidote to Shame

When You Can't Save Your Loved One

If you could save your loved one from their serious illness, you would do that. Of course you would. You love them and you want the best for them, whether they're battling cancer, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, age-related decline, or another advanced illness. You want to be the best caregiver you can be, and I'll bet you're exhausted. Yet you may be spending your precious energy trying to fix the unfixable, rather than focusing on being wholeheartedly present with your loved one. This episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast tackles how to show up as the best caregiver you can be and how to figure out what is yours to take on and what is not. I'm glad you're here.

Nobody Prepares You for This

When a loved one has a serious illness like cancer or dementia, or they have age-related decline, it can seem like your life has turned upside-down. Nobody prepares you for this. Sometimes the skills that are helpful in regular life actually make caregiving harder. But you can repurpose those skills to make caregiving easier. This episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast will show you why hyper-competent people can struggle when a loved one is ill - and what to do about it. - Doctor Delia www.DoctorDelia.com Free Guide: Nobody Prepares You for This https://trainings.integrativepalliative.com/pl/2148761984 [https://trainings.integrativepalliative.com/pl/2148761984]  Coping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One’s Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com [http://www.copingcourageously.com]  Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!
