And as a care...Yes, Andrew...everyone has a limit! And as a caregiver, we must learn to not only look out for our spouse (or person caring for), but ourselves as well. I couldn't imagine how my time would be stretched if I still had children at home! But, it would have to be juggled to include what needs they would have.<br /><br />Thank you for these great tips!

My husband and I always...Interesting topic, Andrew. My husband and I always worked on trying to bring balance to our children's lives as well as our own, all the while letting them choose at least one sport (if they wanted) to participate in. With three boys each choosing one sport and those sports overlapping at times was still a challenge. But it helped to bring some level of family time as well as allowing room for other priorities. That can be so much harder in a family with a terminally ill parent! So being thoughtful and resourceful about it, like you've outlined here, is absolutely necessary! Thanks for another practical view of the challenges terminal illness brings. <br /><br />I hope you are feeling better! I am praying for you daily!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156048755652103073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-34375693428789363912016-07-20T06:20:01.364-07:002016-07-20T06:20:01.364-07:00Thinking of and praying for you, Barb, Barb's ...Thinking of and praying for you, Barb, Barb's dad. xoxoSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134491640460300081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-52971244696862983212016-07-20T05:53:48.116-07:002016-07-20T05:53:48.116-07:00Andrew, Your hard-earned experiences bring wisdom ...Andrew, Your hard-earned experiences bring wisdom to us all...<br />"Learn to say no in a compassionate way.
